-== Old Tsarfati Hebrew ==
-Old Tsarfati Hebrew was used during [[Ăn Yidiș/Proto-Ăn Yidiș|Proto-Ăn Yidiș]] times and is the source of early Hebrew loans in Ăn Yidiș (before the pronunciation was re-standardized according to Tiberian niqqud, resulting in what is today called Tsarfati Hebrew). It is noticeably less conservative than Tiberian Hebrew, for example merging the emphatic series and the voiced series and merging patach with qamatz gadol, even though it keeps some older distinctions lost in Tiberian Hebrew such as samekh vs sin.
-It has the following sound changes from PSem:
-*emphatics and alveolar /r/ are kept
-*ś/s þ š > Basque z, Basque s, š (written as shin left dot, shin middle dot, shin right dot)
-*z ð > voiced Basque z, voiced Basque s (the latter becomes Tamil zh or retroflex L in some readings)
-* Ayn and ghayn are still merged, as well as ħ and x.
-* Qamatz is always /a/ as in Sephardi the and Palestinian traditions.
