[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Modern Hebrew was revived in the late 19th to unify Jewish communities. While the vocabulary draws heavily from Biblical Hebrew its sentence structure, shaped by European Jewish immigrants, often mirrors German and Yiddish patterns—favoring subject-verb-object order—unlike the verb-initial, simpler structures of Old Hebrew spoken by Yemeni Jews.

Again:  Hebrew originated in Poland?[/quote]

Mizrahi Jews didn’t even speak Hebrew. They spoke Arabic. When they first made Aliyah, they got along better with Palestinians than with ashkenazi  Jews- go figure and the army used them as translators. They don’t get enough credit for helping to peacefully break the ice and stabilize the Palestinian Israeli conflict due to the lingual similarity. If they didn’t emigrate, the situation would be far worse as unbelievable as that sounds.

Pretty certain that at least some Mizrahi Jews also spoke Hebrew or maintained a connection to it.[/quote]

It was only used in liturgy. For discourse the language of the community was used such as Arabic, Turkish, Ladino or Yiddish.

Modern Hebrew is a new language taking ancient Hebrew vocabulary and placing it in a Germanic sentence structure. [/quote]
