I learned some Biblical Hebrew a decade ago, and just end of last year I started to learn to speak modern Hebrew until now, it's such a joy to be able to speak this ancient language, its revival is a testimony of a dream of a people who desired to return home, it also mirrors a dream of mine to return to the land where my faith started.

Cornish and Manx in the U.K. were also two languages that were more or less extinct that were revived. They aren't languages with lots of speakers, but today they have fluent L2 speakers (also L1 speakers in Max given that Manx children have been going to immersion schools). So along with modern Hebrew that makes 3 post-mortem revived languages that I'm aware of. However...since Hebrew was a paschal language, could we not say that it was more or less the 2nd language of the Jewish diaspora, and that it never really fully died--merely a new standard dachsprache was created for a very living 2nd language? You could also say that Latin itself really isn't dead, as there are still fluent L2 speakers (especially in the Vatican).

I believe that the one advantage Hebrew had was that it was written and still used for religious purposes for many centuries, so there was a corpus on which the language could be revitalized.

It was dead. Look, there are many people who know and use Latin and Sanskrit in their fields, such as Medicine, Religion etc. but they are still considered as dead. So, if a language is not used in a community as a means of daily communication, it's dead

[@deshaun9473]

I'm sorry, but Hebrew was NEVER a dead language. It was widely used for speech, literature, etc. Maimonedes and Ha Levi used Hebrew extensively for writing books, poems, essays, newspapers, etc. Ben Yehuda simply modernised the language. That was it. A people doesnt lose its language by losing its independence.

[@MrLantean]

Hebrew was a dead language because it usage was restricted as liturgical language of Jewish religion as well as literary language for certain Jewish literature and philosophical works for nearly 2000 years. Even as the time of Jesus, certain forms of vernacular Hebrew were by certain pockets of Jews within their own communities. When communication with outside of their own communities, they reverted to the more common Aramaic. The last vestiges of vernacular Hebrew died out by the 2nd or 3rd Centuries CE when it got fully supplanted by Aramaic. When Hebrew got revived as a vernacular, it was an archaic language lacking modern terms. Ben Yehuda created new words from archaic terms as well as giving modern meanings to them. The most practical approach was to adopt loanwords from existing Semitic family of languages especially from Arabic and Aramaic. For Hebrew pronunciation, he selected Sephardic pronunciation. However, at the time of the revival, Yemenite Hebrew was said to have the closest pronunciation to original vernacular Hebrew and it was hardly known. The strongest influence from European language was Yiddish which was the predominant language of European Jews. Many Yiddish terms were incorporated into Modern Hebrew.

Your opinion on what makes a dead language is laughable. A language does not need to be used for everyday communication to still be considered a living language. Hebrew was studied and taught during those two millennia of Roman exile. The Jews never forgot their language and never stopped using their language.
