'''Modern Hebrew''' ({{heb|עברית מאדערנית}}, ''ivris modernis'' or ), also known as '''Israeli Hebrew''' ({{heb|עברית ישראלית}} ''ivris yisre'eilis''), was revived based on the [[w:Ashkenazi Hebrew|Ashkenazi pronunciation]].

===Vowels===
אֱלֹקים תֵּן בַּמִּדְבָּר הַר
Israeli Hebrew has 7 oral vowels and 6 nasal vowels, one of the largest vowel inventories to occur in any Semitic language and one of the few ones with nasal vowels (also cf. [[w:Inor language|Inor]]). Vowels tend to reduce in unstressed syllables.

==Grammar==
דְּעֵה חָכְמָה לְנַפְשֶׁךָ
Modern Hebrew no longer observes the distinction between masculine plural and feminine plural pronouns, phonetically or orthographically (an edge case remains in the numeral + pronoun complexes שנינו/שתינו ''šnênu/štênu'' 'we two (m/f)', שניכם/שתיכם ''šnêchę/štêchę'' 'you two (m/f)' and שניהם/שתיהם ''šnêhę/štêhę'' 'they two (m/f)'). Gender in plural remains almost exclusively in nouns, adjectives, and the (participial) present tense, and numerals. Hence הלכתם (''holáchtę'' 'y'all went'); אתם הולכים\הולכות (''atę hølchį́/hølchǿs'' 'y'all go' (mp/fp)).
