'''Modern Canaanite''' (Canaanite: ''Knánith'' or ''sofø Knán'', Togarmite: ''Xnoniþ'') is the sole surviving descendant of Biblical Hebrew, spoken by the Knánim people in Lõis's Cyprus, Turkey, Armenia and the Levant. Some Lõisian rabbinical Jewish writings identify this language with the Lost Tribes of Israel, though they disavow the quasi-pagan religious practices of its speakers. 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 its grammar has been completely restructured to use auxiliaries instead of the older Hebrew tenses. | '''Modern Canaanite''' (Canaanite: ''Knánith'' or ''sofø Knán'', Togarmite: ''Xnoniþ'') is the sole surviving descendant of Biblical Hebrew, spoken by the Knánim people in Lõis's Cyprus, Turkey, Armenia and the Levant.
