RE: The language of ivrit ( עברית ) Genesis 2, DTube Video #5

in #hebrew6 years ago

⚙️ Type of writing system: abjad

⚙️ Direction of writing: right to left in horizontal lines.

⚙️ Number of letters: 22 consonants, plus final letters and diacritics

⚙️ Used to write: Hebrew, Judeo-Arabic, Ladino, Yiddish and many other Jewish languages.

⚙️ Some letters (kaf, mem, nun, fe and tzadi) have a final form (sofit), which is used when they appear at the end of a word.

⚙️ There are no separate numerals in Hebrew, instead standard western numerals (1, 2, 3, etc) are usually used. In some circumstances, however, Hebrew letters are used to represent numbers. For example, in days of the week, for dates in the Hebrew calendar, and in school grades. The numerical values of the letters are shown below.

⚙️ Long vowels can be indicated by the letters alef, vav, and yod. Short vowels are not usually marked, except in the Bible, poetry and books for children and foreign learners

⚔️ This system of indicating vowels was devised by the Masoretic scholars in Tiberias in around 750 AD. It is known as Tiberian vocalization, Tiberian pointing, or Tiberian niqqud, or נִיקוּד טְבֵרִיָנִי in Hebrew.
