 | | Eliezer made one stipulation for the marriage: the only language that she would be allowed to speak to their forth coming children would be Hebrew. | | | Although Ben Yehuda had a tremendous impact on modern Israeli life, since he was openly anti religious, many factions in the Orthodox life refused to speak Hebrew. | | | Eliezer Ben Yehuda and the Resurgence of the Hebrew Language |

| | Ben Yehuda was greatly influenced by Arabic and Aramaic, in his modernizing Hebrew as a spoken language and not just liturgical. | | | When Eliezer Ben Yehuda, the father of modern Hebrew, was reviving Hebrew in the late 1800's and early 1900's, so that a nation could be established, he tried to avoid the Ashkenaz dialect as much as possible, preferring the Sephardic. | | | Conversely, the Sephardic form resembled the sound pattern of Arabic more closely and Arabic was the sister language in the Semitic family which already existed in the locale."

| | On the other hand, many unwritten dialects have been elevated to written languages: At the time of the rebirth of Hebrew, ethnic minorities around the world were rediscovering their identities, and many spoke languages that lacked vocabulary for modern life. | | | Usually they focus on the fact that the ancient Hebrew language lacked vocabulary for many aspects of modern life, and on the heroic story of Eliezer Ben Yehuda, who discovered and invented many of the missing terms, and raised the first Hebrew-speaking child in 2000 years. | | | I have at times been critical of the usual story of the rebirth of Hebrew as a spoken language (last time here). |
