In the most common Egyptian dialect and some Yemeni dialects the ج is pronounced exactly like the Hebrew ג (g), so in this case “camel” would be pronounced almost the same way (gamal) in both languages, except in Arabic the stress is on the first syllable (GAmal vs gaMAL).

I’m confused isn’t left يسار? شمال is north isn’t it? 🤔

[@exampleemail848]

​@Notyourbis Before the compass was invented, to navigate in the big deserts of the Middle East and North Africa, our Semitic-speakers ancestors used to find their way by the sun. For them, it was ridiculously simple: East = Sunrise = Forward, West = Sunset = Backward, South = Living (i.e. where the sun exists frequently) = Right And... *North = Hidden (i.e. where the sun exists rarely) = Left* Therefore the fact that "left" and "north" are close in Arabic is understandable.

[@mohebts7206]

Exactly don't forget the "التشكيل". Words with the same characters but different tachkil are two different words.

[@octavian7637]

in sematic languages The north sense derives from the left-hand side facing the sunrise, also attested in Sabaean 𐩠𐩦𐩱𐩣𐩡 (hs²ʾml, “to be northward”)

[@Yallah-2023]

12:30 These changes(w>v, alvelar>uvular trill) had also taken in Tiberian(8-10th century) Hebrew, so they were not solely due to European influence.

I think it's worth noting that the Hebrew used in this video is Modern Israeli Hebrew. In my family we use the Eastern Sephardic dialect and so pronounce the consonants like such instead: א בּ ב גּ ג דּ ד ה ו ז ח ט י כּ כ ל מ נ ס ע פּ פ צ ק ר שׁ שׂ תּ ת [t t(ː) s ʃ r k s f p ʕ/ŋ s n m l x k j t ħ z β̞ h/∅ d d(ː) ɡ ɡ(ː) b b(ː) ʔ/∅] *note, (ː) = double consonant

[@atbing2425]

Hey I did mention this is about Modern Hebrew in the beginning

[@giladostrover]

At 3:13 It's not clear what did you mean by the voiceless glottal fricative sound (ה / H) "elided" in modern Hebrew?! This is radically untrue! I'm Israeli and this is my native language, I can assure that no native speaker of Israeli Hebrew would ever silence the letter ה. This is such a strange and deceptive claim about Hebrew that giving examples to demonstrate that it's wrong - would be a weird understatement, because it is just ridiculous as claiming that in English that the sound of H is somehow silent. How about: aHavá, HaBáyit HeHarím HaHatzHará, HaHit'Hapkhút, LeHitmaHaMéHa? or this very well-known childhood tongue twister: "Anakhnu lo meHamemaHarim, anakhnu meHamemaHarot"? All the H's above represent the modern Hebrew letter ה and are pronounced EXACTLY the same as H in English, Anyone who claims otherwise has probably never heard Hebrew as it is spoken in Israel today. In fact, a native Hebrew speaker who would pronounce the letter ה in a any other way than Voiceless glottal fricative will be considered to have speech impediment (For example: saying זָב or זָ־אָב, instead of זָהָב = zaHAv as it should be pronounced, otherwise speech-language pathologists make a living from those who have difficulty pronouncing this words or any other with the H sound.) The letter ה in contemporary Hebrew is a consonant! *Only* when it appears at the end of words, it is used as a silent letter - „ה”א שותקת” as we were all taught here in first grade. C'mon, This is all so painfully obvious... It is unfortunate that credible information is tainted by false claims, particularly when presented at such a high level of knowledge.

[@ILdude100]

Also Israeli, and I hear many people (especially younger people) pronounce ה like א. So you will hear people saying אוהב like oev instead of ohev

[@atbing2425]

כן אין לי מושג מה הוא רוצה. תעצור שניה, תגיד "הוא" שוב ותשים לב שאין ה חזקה ובולטת כמו באנגלית. (לדוגמא, Who). אפילו הייתי אומר שזה אחד מהמאפיינים שאני שם לב למבטא אמריקאי, כשאמריקאי מדבר עברית יש לו ביטוי חזק של ה h כמו באנגלית.

@@ILdude100 I commented with more detail to the owner of the video, in short: such anecdotal hearing of nuances in speech among certain groups of speakers (such as younger people etc.) is not enough to determine that there is a general trend of change in pronunciation among all speakers of a language. The speech of some young people who use to disrupt pronunciation as part of a group speech style is called "sociolect" and this is a linguistic phenomenon completely separate from what is called a "sound change" („מעתק הגאים”), that is; Changing speech patterns such as the erosion of sounds over time in the largest scale; in the most common dialect of speech.

@@FagnerAro to be fair, there is some but a little, I constantly hear the claim that modern hebrew is "yiddish, arabic and outher launguages" and while there is truth to the fact that hebrew took a lot of words from other languages since it was practically in evolutionary stasis for ~1500 years so they had to borrow words for concepts that simply didn't exist in the old hebrew. but to say that it's "basically yiddish and other launguages" makes it sound like it has absolutely nothing to do with old hebrew when in reality it has, it's basically hebrew with the grammer a little simplified(removing a bunch of verb forms) and adding words that simply didn't exist. it's old hebrew with extra words borrowed from other launguages. but out of allll the languages I feel like yiddish contributed the least

You may believe what you like. It is all documented. Search or Jehuda ( last name) the father of modern Hebrew. For me it is not about who is wrong or right but what is documented. The modern Hebrew alphabet is the old Aramaic abjad letters with some changes. You know what Hebrew means? It is not something to do with ethnicity or culture or language!

[@BabaBobo-j8j]

@DokkariLedwhat you are telling me is that an ant gave birth to an elephant! Arab is not ethnicity but an Arab is the one who speaks Arabic and live the language. If an Arab was ethnicity then how could the descendants of Ishmael become Arabs, the lineage goes via the father! ?

[@BabaBobo-j8j]

@@FagnerAro I didn’t say modern Hebrew is most Yedish, but it has yedish in it! It doesn’t matter if a language is a mix of other languages. What important is that the people who speak that language understand eachother! Ask yourself the question: where did the Bnai Israel come from? Yes they were part of the inhabitants of the people living between Iraq Yemen and sham. So they must have spoken one of the languages there and they could understand other dialects in the region. Call them Arabs , call them Semites , call them Marisians. They were the same people as the rest there so their language must have been the same with little differences from place to place but corn of the language was the same for all the people there! Hebrew has not much to do with the Israelites. Before Jacob there were no Israelites. The term Hebrew is not something you can inherrit. Abraham and Sara and Lot were Hebrew. But there were many hebrews besides them. Hebrew means nothing than a group of people or one person who crosses a river of a piece of land! And there were many people who crossed rivers or lands at that time. It is not linked to a language.

The Arabic word for Jerusalem “Al-Quds” is a direct appropriation of the Hebrew word for the “Holy House.” In Hebrew being “Bayit HaMiqdash” or בית המקדש״.” Enough pretending like the Arabic version is just as legitimate. It is the definition of a colonial name. Think of how the American colonists named their states after mispronunciations or Anglicized versions of native words (Illinois, Mississippi, Kansas, Michigan, etc.) It is the same thing and it should not seen as anything different. It also occurred in other places as well. For example, Hebron (חברון) for which the Arabic name is “al-Khalil” meaning “the friend.” Funnily enough that’s exactly what it means in Hebrew too! This is the hallmark of colonial expansion.

[@arrivederciheheeeeee5809]

I mean, the old Arabic name for Jerusalem was literally bait Al maqdis and that was around when the Romans were occupying the holy land. It's more likely the Arabs adapted the name from the Jews who were in the region.

[@mahmoudbts6188]

The arabic word for jerusalem "al qudus" is simply a reduction for "bait al maqdis" (the holy house/place). The full name of the city using bait al maqdis would be "madinat beit al maqdis" but the name "bait al maqdis" usually means the area taht al aqsa mosque and the church of sepulchre are in. So the word "bait" was deleted (since it means "the house" so people thought it means the holy places themselves), and by using simple arabic grammar rules we can see that "madinat (city) maqdis" isnt gramattically correct so they removed the mem letter so "maqdis" became "qudis". For the name of the city hebron. Yes indeed the word khallil means "friend" in arabic but it also means helper or servent and bunch of other meanings. And actually the full name of the city is "madinat khalil al-rahman" which means "city of the friend/servant of al rahman (the most merciful aka god)" and by the server of god it refers to abraham which was believed to live in that city.

[@عمرالتركماني-م3ع]

There is no such thing as (hebrew language). jews after living with the Canaanites, they learned their language/dialect. After that they massacred the Canaanites and changed the name of the Canaanite language/dialect into hebrew. In the book history of Israel by Martin Noth on p. 24 the author says: When the Israelite tribes arrived, however, they still found that the language spoken was the Semitic 'Canaanite', and, like many earlier immigrants, they and their relations adopted this language in place of the probably Aramaic dialect they had spoken previously. This is why you see images in which there is an arrow drawn from Canaanite to hebrew. It basically means that hebrew is derived/stolen from Canaanite. Btw, i'm talking about old hebrew. As for modern hebrew. it's not even the same as old hebrew. It's basically an amalgamation of multiple languages.

[@cl9615]

According to the archeological record, (and not the Biblical record as I assume you’re taking) Israelites emerged as a group from within the Canaanites. This means that the Israelites were originally Canaanites but then became unique mostly because of their monolatry. So what I’m trying to say is that the language spoken by the Israelites (ancient Jews) was in fact a Canaanite language. Hebrew comes from the Canaanite branch of the semitic language family.

[@cl9615]

As for your take on Modern Hebrew, I would love to hear what you think the other languages that comprise Hebrew are. The fact of the matter is that modern Hebrew is incredibly similar to ancient Hebrew differing only really in syntax, and of course, vocabulary. Since Hebrew was only used liturgically for thousands of years many words for modern concepts had to be developed. These words were either developed by extrapolating from existing Hebrew root words or from other similar languages like Arabic. Your assessment that modern Hebrew is merely an “amalgamation of other languages” is far from the truth.

[@Esoterica-Arabic]

Exactly. There is no such thing as 'Hebrew'. It had always been called, for the majority of its history as a spoken language, 'Canaanite'. Steal the land, Steal the language, claim someone else ancestry, claim falafel is yours, claim Hummus is yours, claim our Levantine music as yours. On top of that, 'Jewish History' is all fabricated and made up of thin air. All these 'archeological findings' are propaganda, exaggerated, and clearly mislabeled (if one delves into a serious academic research regarding this matter) & conflated with the Canaanite archetypes found all over the Levant. The whole thing is a mythology advertised as history.

[@عمرالتركماني-م3ع]

@@cl9615 Ok jew, how can you determine that israelites emerged as a group from within the Canaanites by relying on archeological record? Answer: you can’t.m, unless there is an ancient scroll that says (israelites emerged from Canaanites) and that doesn’t exist. Canaanites/Phoencians are Arabs. The definition of Arab is (a person that is originally from Arabia/Arabian peninsula). Canaanites/Phoenicians were from Bahrain. Bahrain is part of Arabia/Arabian peninsula. This means that Canaanites/Phoenicians are Arabs by definition. Proof: In the book Geography by Strabo translated by Hans Claude Hamilton and William Falconer in book XVI chapter 3 section 4 the author says: On sailing further, there are other islands, Tyre and Aradus, which have temples resembling those of the Phoenicians. The inhabitants of these islands (if we are to believe them) say that the islands and cities bearing the same name as those of the Phoenicians are their own colonies. William Falconer says in the margin: Besides the islands Tyre and Aradus, there existed even in the time of Alexander, and near the present Cape Gherd, a city called Sidon or Sidodona, which was visited by Nearchus, as may be seen in his Periplus. The Phoenician inhabitants of these places appear to have afterwards removed to the western side of the Persian Gulf, and to the islands Bahrain, to which they gave the names Tylos, or Tyre, and Aradus. The latter name still exists; it was from this place that the Phoenicians moved, to establish themselves on the shores of the Mediterranean, and transferred the name of Sidon, their ancient capital, and those of Tyre and Aradus, to the new cities which they there founded. Gossellin.

@@cl9615 Modern hebrew is not similar to ancient hebrew. Modren hebrew is a mix of yiddish and Arabic. yiddish is an Indo-European language and Arabic a Semitic language. Ancient hebrew didin’t contain Arabic neither Indo-European words. It is an amalgamation. There are literally latin words in the so called hebrew language. There are also Arabic words.

you keep on propagating nonsense like parts. There is proof that ancient languages in the Arabian peninsula used the sound P. Actually, all proof is against that but there is a tendency in western academia to force Greek and Persian linguistic trials to old Arabic although both said languages came to be in the first thousand BC while old Arabic dates to before the second thousand Bc, There is no Semitic designation in real historical studies, this is a Biblical term that has nothing to do with the region's people and genealogy. Hence, your termed photo semitic is nothing but a failed recycling of Jewish fallacies.

you wrote it too complicated, what exactly is the jewish fallasies, and what's your correction? you say ancient Arabic used the sound "P"? and Arabic wasn't influenced by Greek and Persian, but instead all languages came from Arabic?

[@saadhamid6226]

@@victor_rybin The Jewish fallacies are numerous from claiming to be chosen people to Jacob wrestling God to the ground and forcing him to grant Palestine to the Jews to their alleged knowledge of the genealogy of people and this is the particular point I make. Semites and other designations of races is a proven fallacy based on scientific historical and biological findings. On the second point Arabs and since ancient times conserved their language and its phonetic, syntactical and morphological traits so the letter ب was consistently pronounced as a B sound never a P sound as ignorant western linguist claim. They argue that since ancient Greek had an alteration between the P sound representing original B sound in addition to P shifting to an F sound (ph) in Greek and because this phenomenon permitted through Hebrew and Ancient Egyptian then the same must have occurred to Arabic. They ignore that the Arab world ( in its overwhelming majority) never fell under Greek rule and that Arabic retained its fixed phonetic nature. As for the age of Arabic it dates to before the 2 thousand BC according to scores of Thamoudic graphites and inscriptions. So yes it long predates both Greek and Hebrew.

[@cl9615]

Your comment is borderline unreadable. What he is trying to say is that the word “Palestine” has no basis in Arabic, hence why the original “p” sound became “f” in order to accommodate the language difference. To prove this point please tell me what “Palestine” or “Filastin” means in Arabic.

[@saadhamid6226]

@@cl9615 Phelest is the name of an ancient people thought to have come to Canaan from the Island of Crete. they settled on the southern shores of Canaan well before the Hebrews they assimilated into the population ( Canaan). when the Hebrews invaded the land of Canaan they held the position that the land is only theirs and they began a series of ethnic cleansing ( genocide) against the entire population. Inhabitants of the land ( Canaani, Phelest and bedwen Arabs) united and assimilated . The name of Phelest is pronounced with a an F sound not a P. when the Greeks occupied the land they gave it the name Phelest ( not able to pronounce the F sound) . This is the origin of the name it was used first as a general term to include all of the land of Canaan and it lasted to date. Jews living in the land were unable to conquer the southern shores of the land due to the unity between the Phelest and the bedewn Arabs. The Phelest assimilated into Arabs under the Nabatean kingdom ruling the largest part of the land ( southern Palestine , Sinai peninsula, Jordan and northern Saudi Arabia) from before Christ. while Jews remained under Greek rule and called the area they lived in ( in parts of todays west bank of Palestine as Judea. the same situation continued under the Romans . When Arab Muslim armies liberated the land from the occupying Byzantine empire they used the name to term the newly liberated land. Christians and Jews were protected and their religious rights were respected. This is the history of the land, names , people and religion. if you can't bear that too that is your problem. I know of certain others who have a serious problem with the reality of history and would rather prefer fabrications. Nevertheless, the objective reality when coupled with will of the people will always prevail. bare it or not it is the least of my concerns.

Hebrew isn’t even on the same branch as Arabic. Hebrew and Aramaic are on the same branch. Hebrew and Phoenician are dialects of Canaanite. If Hebrew were a dialect of Arabic, that would mean that Phoenician is also a dialect of Arabic, but that’s not true either.

Both, however, are descended of an earlier language that passed through several stages before they even became Hebrew and Arabic.
