WHAT DOES MODERN HEBREW MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Modern Hebrew

Modern Hebrew, also known as Israeli Hebrew, is the result of the most successful language revitalization project in history, and intimately linked to the Zionist movement and the founding of the modern state of Israel. There is debate over whether it is a direct continuation of Classical Hebrew or something closer to a relexified Yiddish, with a grammar that is more Slavic than Semitic. The revival of the Hebrew language was led by Eliezer Ben-Yehuda in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Modern Hebrew is spoken by about nine million people — most of them citizens of Israel, of which three million are native speakers of Modern Israeli Hebrew, two million are new immigrants, one million are Israeli Arabs and half a million are Israelis or diaspora Jews who continue to live abroad. Modern Hebrew is, together with Modern Standard Arabic, an official language of the modern state of Israel, and before the state's establishment it was one of the official languages of the British Mandate for Palestine.
