Verse:Tdūrzů/Hebrew

The history of Hebrew and Judaism in Verse:Apple PIE is much like in our own world. The consonantal text of the Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible is identical to our timeline. However, it preserves phonological distinctions that our Hebrew lost. The language was also revived three times independently, and is not associated with a nation-state.

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

Gaelic

Gaelic (or "Galician") Hebrew has been influenced by Ăn Yidiș and Galoyseg. Similar to our Ashkenazi Hebrew, except

• /e ɔ o u/ are pronounced like Judeo-Gaelic ea o u î
• 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.

Revived Galician Hebrew (revived by some secular L-Galician Jews) prefers Celtic syntax, such as VSO word order and expressions for feelings and modals. It also prefers some coincidentally Gaelic-sounding words, e.g. אַךְ ach 'but' and שָׂשׂ sos 'happy' (sounding like Judeo-Gaelic ach 'but' and sostă 'satisfied') instead of the synonyms אֲבָל avol and שָׂמֵחַ someach. Orthodox Gaelic Jews prefer to speak Judeo-Gaelic and refuse to speak any form of Revived Hebrew, because they view Hebrew as a sacred language.

Togarmite influence

Old Togarmite played a similar role in the evolution of Hebrew to what Arabic did in our world.

• It is the source of loans such as קוטב kœtev 'pole'
• Hebrew and English poetic meters come from Old Togarmite quantitative meters.

Sample (Dror Yikra)

In Lõis, the piyyut (liturgical poem) Dror Yikra was written by a Corded Ware Jew (named Dunash ben Lavrat דונש בן לברט, CW Hebrew: /ðunaʃ ven lavɾat/ as in our world). Hence the rhymes work in accents such as Corded Ware and Siészal accents but not in accents such as L-Galician (L-Yiddish), Havohróh Măcubéleth, Đâu-Gequơxex, Indian and Holy Land accents.

L-Tiberian Hebrew

L-Tiberian Hebrew was pronounced the same as our Tiberian Hebrew, unless stated otherwise. It was influenced by Old Togarmite instead of Arabic. The main differences were:

• Resh was usually an alveolar or retroflex approximant. Near coronals (so called peculiar resh, with the same conditions as in our TibH) it was a trill [r] or a flap, as in our TibH.
• The emphatic consonants qoph, teth, and tsadhe were ejectives, as in Old Togarmite. In coda, emphatic consonants had glottal reinforcement, preserved in Havohroh Măcubeleth and in Revived Holy Land Hebrew.

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.

Holy Land speakers, especially the younger generation, receive Corded Ware Hebrew positively and judge its speakers as trustworthy. It is one of the two most popular accents for stylized music, the other being the Hăvohróh Măcubéleth accent.

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'.

ברוך אתה ה', א-לוהינו מלך העולם, אשר בחר בנו מכל העמים ונתן לנו את תורתו. ברוך אתה ה', נותן התורה.
