Hebrew is a Semitic language and belongs to the Afroasiatic language family. Biblical Hebrew is closely related to Arabic and Aramaic,\u00a0which are spoken around the territory where many of the biblical stories are focused \u2013 the Middle East.\u00a0Hebrew is one of the two official languages of the State of Israel, along with Arabic. Modern Hebrew is spoken by some six million people inside Israel and one to two million people outside the country. Liturgical Hebrew is used by quite a few more people, in both Jewish and Christian religious settings.<\/p>\n
Liturgical Hebrew that was preserved in ancient religious heritage, but vanished\u00a0from everyday use around 4th century, was actually revived. Modern Hebrew was invented as an adjunct to the Zionist movement in the 19th century. One of its first and most avid innovators was Eliezer\u00a0Itzchak\u00a0Perlman of Belarus, who created much of the modern vocabulary between 1885 and 1922. Mr. Perlman is renowned for raising the first \u201cHebrew-speaking\u201d child \u2013 he forbade anyone to utter a word in any other language around his firstborn son, Ben Zion (who later changed his name to Itamar).<\/p>\n
Modern Hebrew is governed by an official committee \u2013 The Academy of the Hebrew Language. Decisions by the Academy are enshrined in law\u00a0and frequently ignored by speakers of the language. It is\u00a0interesting, though, that Hebrew is a native language of less than 49% of Israelis \u2013 other major native languages of Israel inhabitants are Russian, Arabic, English, French and Yiddish (though similar to Hebrew by using the same alphabet set as well as similar expressions, the two languages have very different origin and history. Yiddish is a fusion language originating in Liturgical Hebrew and Armaic, but mixes with High German and Slavic languages).<\/p>\n
Hebrew is read from right to left using a distinctive 22-letter alphabet.<\/p>\n
