CANAANITE: HEBREW & PHOENICIAN

Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.

Special Thanks to @hiromhamilk

The Canaanite languages, a subgroup of the Northwest Semitic languages along with Aramaic and Amorite, originated in the Levant and Mesopotamia. Hebrew, a regional dialect of the Canaanite languages within the Afroasiatic language family, was natively spoken by the Israelites and used regularly until after 200 CE, remaining the liturgical language of Judaism and Samaritanism. Hebrew was revived in the 19th century, becoming a successful large-scale example of linguistic revival. Phoenician, another Canaanite language, was spoken around Tyre and Sidon and became a maritime lingua franca during the Iron Age due to extensive trade. The Phoenician alphabet influenced the development of all modern European scripts after spreading to Greece.
