Line 301:

Jews started speaking English soon after Tiberian Hebrew niqqud was standardized around AD 900. This was shortly after English underwent the Great Vowel Shift and entered the Northern Levant Sprachbund. Jewish languages are the source of English words such as:

*Jewish-specific words such as ''chutzpah'' (Lõisian orthography: {{angbr|''khutspoh''}}) and ''Torah'' (Lõisian orthography: {{angbr|''Tuoroh''}}; pronounced with the FORCE vowel in Lõis). ''Kosher'' (pronounced as in our world) comes from open syllable lengthening applied to */ˈkɔʃer/.

*''galore'', ''glen'', and some other words that come from Irish in our world ~~mainly~~ come from [[Judeo-Gaelic]].

*''galore'', ''glen'', and some other words that come from Irish in our world come from [[Judeo-Gaelic]].

*If you were wondering, ''oy vey'' comes from a not-specifically-Jewish source: from ''oh woe'' [øɪ vøɪ] in the Eastern English accent that yields our Ashkenazi Hebrew accent when Hebrew is read in it.

===Vowels===

L-Ashkenazi Hebrew distinguishes between all of the 7 major Tiberian Hebrew vowels: /i e ɛ a ɔ o u/ (chiriq, tzere, segol, patach, qamatz, cholam and qubbutz/shuruq) are all distinct.
