WHERE IS THE LANGAGE SPOKEN
It is the official language in Israel but its also spoken by Jewish
people around the world. 9 million people Hebrew (L1+L2)
HISTORY
•West Semitic Language
•The earliest examples of written Hebrew date from the 10th century BC
REVIVAL OF THE HEBREW LANGUAGE Hebrew had ceased to be an everyday spoken language by around 200 AD and survived into the medieval period as the language of Jewish liturgy
In the 19th century it was revived as a spoken and literary language, which means that the language was dead but then after some centuries it was used again. The process begun as Jews started arriving in Palestine in the first half of 19th century and used Hebrew as a lingua franca (What is also called the Zeonism movement)
DIASPORA
It was the historical exile and dispersion of Jews from the region
of Judaea. The diaspora began with the 6th century BC conquest of the ancient Judea by Babylon.
MIDDLE AGES
During the Middle Ages, the Jews had divided into distinct regional
groups
•Ashkenazi Jews who immigrated to Central and later Eastern Europe ( Germany,Poland,Russia)
•the Sephardi Jews who settled in Iberia(Spain ,France ,Portugal ) and later North Africa
•the Mizrahi Jews who remained in the Babylon
ASKENAZIM JEWS Askenazim population grew rapidly from the
16th to 19th century ,with the largest populations in the Poland, Lithuania and Russian Empire. Millions of Jews migrated to the America during the 20th century
GOING BACK TO ISRAEL
•The dynamics of the diaspora which were affected by persecution, numerous subsequent exiles, as well as political and economic conditions created a new Jewish awareness of the world
HEBREW’S RETURN
•The process of the Hebrew’s return to regular usage of their ancestral language is unique. There are no other examples of a natural language without any native
speakers subsequently acquiring several million native speakers.
• The modern Hebrew language includes characteristics derived from all periods of Hebrew language as well as
from the non-Hebrew language used by long established European ,North African and Middle -
Eastern communities, with Yiddish being the dominant influence
WHAT IS YIDDISH
•Yiddish is a High German language of Ashkenazi Jews, and it is written in the Hebrew alphabet. Western Yiddish
originated in their culture, which emerged in the 9th century in Central Europe. Many centuries later, Western
Yiddish spread to Eastern Europe, where it expanded and evolved into Eastern Yiddish, which eventually
spread to other continents. •In the eve of World War II, there were 11 to 13 million Yiddish speakers. The Holocaust, however, led to a dramatic, sudden decline in the use of Yiddish
