==L-Ashkenazi Hebrew==

L-Ashkenazi Hebrew (in-universe simply "Ashkenazi"), or [[TT-English]] Hebrew, is one of the most conservative modern Lõisian reading traditions (i.e. closest to Tiberian Hebrew). It is really a mapping from Tiberian Hebrew phonemes to English or quasi-English phonemes, so the exact accent would depend on the speaker's native English accent. There is a gap between:

# Normative, careful pronunciation, used by older cantors, and in hymns, song and poetry. This pronunciation is often called ''Ha-Hăvohróh ha-Măcubéleth'' ההברה המקובלת [hahavoːˈɾoː haməʔkʊˈbɛlɛθ], literally 'received pronunciation' or 'accepted pronunciation' (meaning that it was the Hebrew pronunciation passed down by tradition in the Northern Levant at the time it was codified), named after Newton native Rabbi ~~Yitskhác~~ ben Mănakhấm's (יצחק בן מנחם /~~jɪʔtsˈħaʔk~~ bɛn mənaˈħɛɪm/) 16th century guide ''Ha-Havohróh ha-Măcubéleth'' which described this pronunciation with a mapping to English sounds. Ben Mănakhấm attempted to create a "mid-Atlantic" Hebrew, a compromise standard bridging the dizzying variety of Hebrew pronunciations he was familiar with. The pronunciation described by ben Mănakhấm is thought to reflect 16th century English pronunciation in the city of [[Verse:Lõis/Newton|Newton]] which since then developed alongside L-Standard English, but with slightly different changes.
