Stop misleading and misinforming your audience! It's not a silent letter. It's genuine consonant that can be pronounced and is still pronounced throughout Arabic and many Jewish communities. Just because white Ashkenazi who lived among Europeans so long that forgot how to pronounce it doesn't mean it can't be pronounced.
It is not unfortunately. The language evolves naturally. It is like a living being! Some people pronounce the ayin. The old people and the purists of language still pronounce, but the younger generations (like me) does not pronounce. Only if we are reading something very sacred, like a chazzan on synagogue
@@M4th3u54ndr4d3 when a language evolves it is no longer the same language. we are speaking English, not Ænglisc, despite English being a modern form of Ænglisc.
@@servantofaeie1569 no, you dont speak Shekesperian English. But Shakesperian english still is English. If you will try to pronounce in biblical way, good luck. Every jew knows biblical hebrew, because we have to pronounce the biblical portions with biblical accent. But there are a lot of differences on the pronounciation. You will have to pronounce ta and tha for ת, da and dha for ד , Hha and Kha for ח, the ק would be Qa like arabic ق instead of Ca. Ayin have 2 forms: ayin and ghayn. You will have to pronouce both. Also, you will have to learn gemination. Good luck. Modern people would be unable to understand you within 30 seconds. You will have to pronounce every sentence several times. You will sound like a crazy person, and people will realize that you are speaking biblical hebrew 30 seconds after asking several times. Good luck speaking with old english accent in modern USA. This is the same case.
@@M4th3u54ndr4d3 even as an English speaker, i can pronounce all those sounds because i have been practicing the ح خ ق ع sounds for months. the sounds ث ذ and ng already exist in my dialect. i already pronounce ק as ق and ח as ح when trying to read Hebrew words, as well as צ as ص and ט as ط.
In Ps 119 David use 8 versed with ayin in beginning of each verse.. If i look at these verses and think of early culture..how then do i read these verses??
Hi, I know you made this 5 years ago... but it would really help if you can tell me... how do you pronounce the word "people" again? Does it end with an "N" or "M". What letter follows "ayin" to create the word you described as "people". Thank you very much. Appreciate you.
The old looks NOTHING like the new ... I've heard someone speculate that perhaps it was Daniel that created a different looking alephbet when he was told to "seal up the book", sounds logical to me! You really can't understand modern Hebrew (the meaning of each letter) like you could ancient where the letter was a picture such as an eye or arm/hand or teeth, etc.
Because it is not silent. You should learn with a middle eastener person. Search Maha channel. She teaches hebrew and arabic. This channel have a terrible pronounciation Ayin has the sound of "uugh". Is very hard to describe.
Because IT IS NOT but everyone making youtube videos keeps telling people wrong informations. Please check more accurate sources, this guy doesn't know a thing about ancient Hebrew
That's a joke, if you write "ancient Hebrew" in the title, you just CAN'T say that 'ayin is silent. It is in modern Hebrew, not in ancient Hebrew! Just write "modern Hebrew alphabet" in the title if you want to describe modern pronunciation, in which no one who looks for "ancient Hebrew" is interested in!
This is a Hebrew alphabet??? But AYIN is a WEST African name and people. See Ghana all the way to Nigeria. Tayo Ayin, Ayin, Ayinri, Ayo. I can go on. But I'm sure no1 wants to hear this. For instance these are names and cities in W. Africa. And these people travelled out as far as Asia. But I can show you places ALL over Africa!
