'''Modern Canaanite''' (Canaanite: ''Xnánið'' /xnɛ:nið/ or ''sóv Xnán'' /saɤv xnɛːn/, Togarmite: ''Xnoniþ'') is the sole surviving descendant of Biblical Hebrew, spoken by the Xnánem people in Lõis's Cyprus, Turkey, Armenia and the Levant. The Xnánem appear to be Celtic speakers who adopted a form of Hebrew. Some Lõisian rabbinical Jewish writings identify an early stage of the language with either the Lost Tribes of Israel or the biblical Canaanites. This is not without cause, as the language preserves quite a few Biblical words and phraseology that fell out of use in Mishnaic Hebrew, though unlike Mishnaic and Israeli Hebrew its grammar was completely restructured to use auxiliaries instead of the older Hebrew tenses, under the influence of Celtic languages. | '''Modern Canaanite''' (Canaanite: ''Xnánið'' /xnɛ:nið/ or ''sóv Xnán'' /saɤv xnɛːn/, Togarmite: ''Xnoniþ'') is the sole surviving descendant of Biblical Hebrew, spoken by the Xnánem people in Lõis's Cyprus, Turkey, Armenia and the Levant.
