Verse:Tdūrzů/Hebrew

The history of Rabbinic Judaism in Verse:Apple PIE is much like in our own world. The Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible, the Mishnah, and the Talmud are identical to ours. However, most accents of Apple PIE Hebrew, except Tiberian Hebrew which is identical to our timeline's Tiberian Hebrew, preserve phonological distinctions that our Hebrew lost by Post-Exilic Hebrew times.

There is also a large group of non-Rabbinic Jews who live in India and preserve Palestinian-Hebrew like vowel points, but pronounced with aspirated stops for fricatives.

The standard variety today is Corded Ware Hebrew with an Ăn Yidiș-influenced accent and grammar. It is SVO like our Hebrew, but sometimes prefers Ăn Yidiș syntax, e.g.

• much more willing to use איני, אינך, ...for negation in present tense (אין הוא, אין היא in 3rd person); in our IH these forms are formal/written (bc Gaelic negation comes before subject pronouns). לא אני... Lo ani is a focus construction 'It's not me that...', and אין אני eyn ani in non 3rd person are solemn.
• לא אלא lo ela, לא כי-אם lo ki-im or colloquially לא אך lo akh (latter from native Gaelic ach) 'nothing but' used preferentially to רק rak 'only'
  • (colloquial) אני לא/איני אך מורה. 'I'm just a teacher'
  • (formal) איני אלא/כי אם מורה.
• in some expressions for feelings and modals.
  • רצון לי ratzon li 'I like' (tel lum)
  • אפשר לי efšar li 'I can' (efșăr lum)
• Colloquially adjunct pronouns tend to be a bit further from their heads (separated by a direct object or the subject), e.g. יש חלום לי yeš halum li 'I have a dream', הוא נתן חלום לי hu naþan xalom li 'he gave me a dream' rather than the more formal יש לי חלום yeš li xalom and הוא נתן לי חלום hu naþan li xalom.
• colloquial, often proscribed: shel (influenced by Ăn Yidiș ag) might replace l- in existential constructions: יש ספר שלי yeš sefer šeli (but *yeaș șeli seafer is never grammatical). For less common verbs or predicates, this tendency is more pronounced even in formal speech.
• 'I have the book' is יש לי הספר yeš li ha-sefer (colloq. yeš ha-sefer (še)li), NOT יש לי את הספר yeš li eþ ha-sefer as in our Modern Hebrew.
• Question particles (ha2im if before subject, ha- if before verb or predicate) are usually retained. Questions don't have a different intonation from declarative sentences. Question marks are not usually used.
• It also prefers some coincidentally Gaelic-sounding words, e.g. אַךְ ach 'but' and שָׂשׂ sas 'happy' (sounding like Judeo-Gaelic ach 'but' and sostă 'satisfied') instead of the synonyms אֲבָל aval and שָׂמֵחַ sameach.
• אם im vs לו lü are kept distinct even colloquially
• for "it's X", "hu/hi X" preferred over "ze/zo X"
• Tenses:
  • הוא היה אוכל Vă ș'ăg îth
  • הוא אוכל To ș'ăg îth
  • הוא אכל To/Vă șe ney îth
  • הוא יהיה אוכל Bey ș'ăg îth
  • הוא יאכל Bey șe ney îth
• "please" is עם רצונך im rătzonkha 'with your will', a calque of לא טא °תעל lă dă-thel.

Present-day Hebrew has 8 million speakers, the second largest Jewish language after Ăn Yidiș.

This page documents the various pronunciations of Hebrew used by the different Jewish communities in Apple PIE.

Dror Yikra

Dror Yikra is a medieval Shabbat piyyut, in our timeline one of the earliest piyyutim to use an Arabic-derived meter.

Disclaimer: Piyyutim are thick with biblical allusions so they're a bitch to translate. I'm sure I made mistakes.

[X] denotes "something that has the same reflex as X in our Tiberian Hebrew."

(Dunash ben Labrat in this timeline was Corded Ware which merged þ and š)

[God] will proclaim freedom for his sons and daughters
And guard you [all] as the apple of his eye
Pleasant is your name and will never cease [to be so];
Sit and rest on the Sabbath day.

[God], remember my abode and my hall [Temple]
And show me a sign of salvation.
Plant a choice vine in my vineyard [give us a messiah/king in Jerusalem],
Attend to the cries of my people.

Tread [upon my foes] as on a winepress in Botsra [Edom],
And Babylon which overpowered [us].
Crush my oppressors in your wrath,
Hear my voice when I call.

O God, give us a mountain amidst the desert,
Myrtles, acacias, cypresses and [unknown tree species];
To those who admonish [others to keep the Sabbath] and to those who heed
Grant peace like a flowing river.

Pulverize my aggressors [as in a mortar], O Jealous God [who is jealous for his people],
[lit. Melt their hearts] and distress them,
And with open mouths we shall fill
Our tongues with songs of gladness to you.

Know what is wise for your soul,
And [wisdom] shall be a crown for your head.
Guard your Holy One's commandment,
Keep your holy Sabbath.

Gaelic Hebrew

Gaelic Hebrew (i.u. עברית אשכנזית ivrís așcănázis) has been influenced by Ăn Yidiș and Galoyseg, mostly the former. Similar to our Ashkenazi Hebrew, except

• Hyper-Tiberian /e ɔ o u ü/ are pronounced like Judeo-Gaelic ea o oa u ü
  • A minimal pair between the two holams: חוֹל hul 'sand' (Aramaic Hālā) and חוֹל hoal '(something) secular' (~ חילל 'he desecrated')
• Shva na3 is ă /ə/ in careful pronunciation (dropped in Hebrew loans in Ăn Yidiș, however)
• undageshed gimel is pronounced like Judeo-Gaelic gh
• /r/ is an alveolar flap
• affricates are distinguished from stop-fricative sequences, as in Judeo-Gaelic but unlike our Israeli Hebrew: תשומת לב [tsɨmas leəv] 'attention' is pronounced differently than *צומת לב.
• kuf and tet are /g/ and /d/
• /p t k/ are aspirated
• PSem /H/ is /h/ and PSem /x/ is /x/
• Sibilants mergers are like in our TibH.
• /h/ is silent. (חילל 'to desecrate' and הילל 'to praise' shouldn't be homophones)

Hyper-Tiberian Hebrew

Hyper-Tiberian Hebrew was similar to Tiberian Hebrew, unless stated otherwise. It was the ancestor to Gaelic Hebrew. This timeline's Yemenite Hebrew is very similar except with /o/ > /ø/.

Hyper-Tiberian 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 in some readings)
• ś' þ' s' > /ts, c, c/ (but ejectives)
• Ayn and ghayn are still merged, as well as H and x.
• Qamatz is always /O/ as in Tiberian.

Hyper-Tiberian Hebrew also distinguishes

• cholam from Proto-Semitic *u = o /o/
• cholam from Proto-Semitic *ā and *aw = ů /u/ (/uə/ in some other reading traditions)
• Proto-Semitic *ū = u /ü/ (/u/ in some other reading traditions)

Some accents merge the first two vowels like our TibH and Israeli did, some merge the second two, and others, such as Ăn Yidiș Hebrew, keep all three distinct.

Hyper-Israeli

This reading tradition is used by Jews in North Africa and the Holy Land in Apple PIE.

Like our Israeli Hebrew, but:

• Hyper-Israeli reflects Hyper-TibH o (and qamatz qatan) as /ʌ̹/, Hyper-TibH ů as /u̠/, and Hyper-TibH u as /u̟/. (These vowels resemble Seoul Korean eo, o, and u respectively.)
• PSem *H is reflected as a uvular fricative (merging with lenited kaf) and PSem *x is voiceless sje.
• Non-prevocalic V + ayin sequences are reflected as nasal vowels or nasal vowel offglides: ארבע /aʁbɑ̃/ '4'.
• Proto-Semitic ð became ž, as in זימר žimer 'he overpowered', as opposed to זימר zimer 'he sang'.

Riphean Hebrew

Inspired by a hypothetical Vietnamese Hebrew

/ʔ b v g ɣ d ð h w z ħ tʼ j k x l m n s ʕ p f ts kʼ r ʃ t θ/ = [ʔ b v ɣ ɣ d z h v z h t j kʰ x l m n s ʔ p f tɕ⁼ k⁼ ɹ~ʐ ʃ tʰ s] (some Ashkenazim have ð > z)

/i u e o ɛ ɔ a ă ɔ̆ ɛ̆/ = [i u iə uə ɛ ɔ a ə ɔ ɛ]

/ɓɔˈɹux ʔaˈtʰɔ ʔəzuəˈnɔi, ʔɛluəˈhiənu mɛlɛx hɔʔuəˈlɔm, sɛhɛhɛˈjɔnu vək⁼ijəˈmɔnu vəhiɣiˈʔɔnu lazəˈman haˈzɛ/

Corded Ware Hebrew

North American Hebrew was revived independently by Corded Ware-speaking Jews. Revived Hebrew in North America uses more Corded Ware-like grammar, like preferring object affixes to using pronominal forms of the object marker את eþ.

Vowels as in Sephardi Hebrew (except shva na = all chatafs = [ə]), consonants are more varied depending on the individual Jewish community. Readings similar to this are used all over Western Europe.

The enunciative vowel -ə is used when a word (1) in pausa (2) has ultimate stress and (3) has final C. The past 2fs suffix /-t/ is pronounced /-tə/ when following a consonant: כתבת [kaˈθavtə] 'you (2fs) wrote'.
