In this video I start by letting people listen a clip of Hebrew, with audio only, to test if they can recognize Hebrew. Then I showed the subjects the video as hint, so the subjects can see the people speaking Hebrew and Hebrew scripts. Will they recognize Hebrew? watch the video and find out!
In my previous video about Hebrew I used a recording of the Bible in Biblical Hebrew. I did that because it was a Librivox recording, since all Librivox recordings are in the public domain, I could be sure I am not risking copyright infringement.
I should have known that something from thousands of years ago would be nowhere near modern Hebrew and I am sorry about that.
The video with natural modern Hebrew I used in this video is recommended to me by AbadGorilla. Thank You!
Thank you all for watching and taking the time to read the description.
I wish all of you celebrating Rosh Hashanah happy new year 5775!

My name is Shunfu Sha. I make videos about languages, mainly English speakers' recognition and impression of foreign languages. I am also planning to do vlogs about language and culture.

@davidcohen7881 6 лет назад

NO, it was the other way around. Yiddish was influenced by German, Russian and other eastern European languages and Ancient Hebrew. There used to be about a dozen Jewish Languages influenced by Hebrew band the local Language. Judeo-Spanish is Ladino, Judeo-Tat was spoken in the Caucasus Mountains. Ancient Hebrew had a vocabulary of about 7,000 words, but had to be modified to reflect changes in technology and life. Now there are abut 75,000 words or compound words that were also influenced by Aramaic, Arabic and English.

@meme-bd5hk 6 лет назад

David Cohen, truth be told we don't know how many words comprised what is referred to as ancient Hebrew. Basically the only basis we have is Scripture. But it could very well be that there are words that are not mentioned in Scripture which have been lost to us over time.

As an Arabic speaker, Modern Hebrew sounds very different than Arabic, it always gives me German-Russian vibes

@DJ_A.K_GOLD Год назад

The difference is that the Hebrew you've heard was coming from Ashkenazi jews , which contributes only 30% of the Jews in Israel .. When you'll listen to Sephardic or Mizrahi jews talking Hebrew , it will sound very much like Arabic , as they speak much slower , and with much more breathing in each word . You know what , just type Rabbi amnon Itzhak , he is a yemmanite jew , and it sounds complitely different

@Imserious184 Год назад

@DJ_A.K_GOLD Год назад

@@Imserious184 Your words are Bullshit ... You don't know the Statistics in Israel , so you just watch RU-vid , and think that all the jews in Israel are Ashekenazi , meaning that you are either a big ignorant , or maybe even a liar ... 70% of the jews in Israel are Mizrahi and Sephardic Jews from Yemen , Ethiopia , Lebanon , Iraq , Syria , Morocco , Algeria , Libya , Egypt , Iran , Turkey , Azerbaijan , the Republic of Georgia , Spain , india , and Afghanistan .... The Ashkenazi have control of the money , but are the minority in numbers... Only 2 cities have an Ashkenazi majority , which are Tel aviv and Bat yam ,,, all the rest look like if you are in an Arab country ... Arabs are a mixed race also , as your forefathers have conquered so many places in the Islamic Conquest , where Arab men , have taken foreign women as their wife's , from Spain to Russia , and from youguslavia to Mongolia .. So arabs are filled with Ashekenazi blood , which Ashkenaz by the way was a human , and a Decendent of Japheth , son of Noah , so many Arabs are not even Semites from Shem ... Truth hurts...

@tomaszantochow8391 8 лет назад

That's because of the harsh sounds. Dutch has many of those, but no freaking clue why they'd guess for swedish and anything nordic, those are by contrast very light and sing-songy languages. ANd well, hebrew is in the same language group as arabic, so I guess there are similarities, but yeah, it's not quite that similair.

as a hebrew speaker i can tell you hebrew sounds nothing like arabic. expect grammer rules modern hebrew and arabic don't share common nothing! actually as an israeli, when you hear hebrew, you can notice in a second if you speak with an arab or with a jew. they different accent that change every thing, they don't have the letters we have such as "P" , they can't pronounce it. from what i heard around the world hebrew sounds to people german and french.

@Secret5964 10 лет назад

My mother tongue is Dutch which is closely related to English, but there is no native English speaker who would say Dutch and English sound alike. There are many sounds native English speakers can't pronounce (or which are at least very difficult). Hebrew and Arabic are closely related, there is no denying in that.

@rotemscho8907 10 лет назад

Secret5964 i have never deny it, i said the share common grammer which make the from the same family but this guy in the vid try to direft them to the middle east and to the arab language based on what they hear, which is wrong to my opinion cuz based on hearing there is nothing alike between hebrew and arabic! the words are different and the accent is just like black and white! itws like saying dutch sounds like english cuz they share grammer rules!

@HeritageInmoshun 10 лет назад

rotem scho I don't think native speakers of any language think another language sound like their language. The perception of how a language sound for a native speaker is totally different from people who do not speak it. For example, it is almost impossible for you or anyone to mimic your own language in away that might sound right or even remotely close for you , but I think most people can mimic a language they do not speak in a way that you think sound like the language you are are trying to mimic. Also many languages might sound alike to people who do not speak it but sound totally different for their native speakers. One of the purpose of these pointless video is to offer people a chance to hear how their language is perceived by people who do not speak the language.Which I admit is uncomfortable to do because it will never sound right, the same is true when you do the same for other languages.

@Secret5964 9 лет назад

Troy Heron I agree that Dutch is very close to English (only Frisian is closer). But many native speakers think it sounds very different. But that is simply because we can speak our native language fluently, and differences in languages are easier to spot for native speakers than similarities. It amuses me that many English speakers think of Dutch as an ugly sounding language, although they are pretty much the same. It is true that Dutch from the Netherlands has a very gutteral 'g', but Flemish has a much softer 'g'. Flemish probably sounds a lot more like English than Dutch from the Netherlands.

@snakey934Snakeybakey 9 лет назад

actually, Hebrew and Arabic are sister languages, and even have a lot of the same words. its just the pronounceation that is the biggest difference.

And modern Hebrew is *loaded* with borrowed foreign words, which compounds the issue. I speak, read and write fluently both modern and ancient Hebrew and have been living in Israel for decades. It's amazing how, when every freaking damned time I comment on RU-vid that when all the Hebrew consonants are properly pronounced it sounds like Arabic to the "average" non-Semitic no-Jews -- especially ancient Hebrew -- some other Israeli always disagrees with this correct observation.

@eliad6543 4 года назад

I'm a bit confused by the whole "foreign sounding" part because in terms of phonology, Hebrew *did* share many sounds with Arabic and those sounds would be very unfamiliar to English speakers, but ever since it was revived a lot of the old pronunciation kinda went away as the language was again spoken and therefore underwent change (and also, Jews from Europe who learned Hebrew as a second language after it was revived ignored a lot of the unfamiliar sounds and just gave their best approximate, which got passed down). So I'm kinda confused by the "look at all those weird sounds". Unless it's a Mizrahi/Yemeni accent, the only two sounds that aren't in English are /x/ (latinized as "ch", isn't in English but is in most other European languages such as Spanish, German and Russian, a.k.a. "the kh sound") and /t͡s/ which is basically just t and s but at the same time rather than in short sequence, can be latinized as "tz" as well, and the Arabic equivalent is the back s (ص). So like, I get that there's like 2 unfamiliar sounds but it's strange to me how much that gets noticed when there's Arabic chilling there with at least 7 of them

@Bilech34 4 года назад

Guess those two sounds (especially the "kh" one) are the strongest ones, and are enough to associate Hebrew with Arabic somehow. As a Hebrew speaker, and a person familiar with Arabic, it's hard for me to understand, but I suppose that's how it works for them.

@akd7576 4 года назад

The "kh" sound in hebrew is nothing like "kh" in European languages becaue in these languages it's very soft and not as down in the throat as it is in hebrew . the hebrew kh actually sound exactly the same as the arabic kh خ , in both languages this sound sounds like someone is trying to spit and it's very noticeable to foreigners

@eliad6543 4 года назад

@@akd7576 "Trying to spit" is a very nice description xD As far as i'm aware though, Arabic خ *isn't* usually transcribed as "kh", because خ is the same sound as Ashkenazi Hebrew כ,ח and Mizrahi כ. The خ is the same sound as Russian х or the "ch" in "Loch Ness", so *not* the other "kh" that only got preserved (within Semitic languages, of course) in Arabic and Yemeni (and Mizrahi?) Hebrew. That other one, which is different and probably fits the "trying to spit" description better, is Arabic ح (without the dot!) and Yemeni Hebrew ח. This is the one that got lost from all other dialects of Hebrew in the revival process, doesn't appear in languages like Scottish Gaelic or Russian (at least not regularly, not as a letter), and the same one that's consistently transcribed as "kh". IPA for the first one (خ) is "x" or "χ". while for the second one (ح) it's sometimes argued upon but normally "ħ". Hopefully this cleared some stuff up, I could bring example words from both languages if something still isn't clear but note that I speak Ashkenazi Hebrew so I don't pronounce the 2nd at all in daily speech :P

@akd7576 4 года назад

@Eliad654 The arabic خ is always transcribed as kh , i've never seen different transcription to this sound ح is a different sound and can't be transcribed as kh. while ح sounds foreign , it doesn't sound as guttural as the خ kh sound in arabic and hebrew . come to think of the "Trying to spit" description to this sound ,i think it does make sense beacue when people try to spit they make the sound خ , not ح And especially that arabs and israelis tend to pronounce this sound from the very back of the throat it makes it sound like that in these languages
