Page title[edit]
The title of this page is illogical. Either "Hebrew" is sufficiently ambiguous and the language is not the primary meaning, in which case "Hebrew" should redirect to Hebrew (disambiguation), or it is not, in which case this page should be titled "Hebrew". The redirect from "Hebrew" to the language article in itself already admits that the language is the primary meaning of "Hebrew". Opposing arguments in the last move discussion are fallacious: That it sounds like the singular of "Hebrews" is irrelevant, since names of articles about ethnic groups are always in the plural, and while it is typical for Wikipedia articles about languages to have a title "X language", there are many prominent exceptions, where the language is the primary topic. An argument analogical to the "Hebrews" argument can also be applied to "Latin", because the ethnic group from which the language originates is known as "Latins", yet the article about the Latin language is still found at Latin because the language is overwhelmingly the primary (though by far not the only widely used!) meaning of "Latin". --Florian Blaschke (talk) 17:52, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Misspelling of name in text[edit]
in the History of Hebrew section, Scott Stripling is the correct spelling of the archaeologist.

Arabic as one of the official languages of Israel[edit]
Arabic is no longer an official language of Israel, and so the part of the introduction that says so should be removed. Gamercat365 (talk) 17:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 26 March 2024[edit]
It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Hebrew language. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)
This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |
In the chapter “Modern Hebrew”, replace
- the elimination of pharyngeal articulation in the letters chet (ח) and ayin ( ע) by most Hebrew speakers.
with
- the replacement of the pharyngeal articulation of the letters chet (ח) [ħ] and ayin ( ע) [ʕ] with uvular [χ] and glottal [ʔ], respectively, by most Hebrew speakers
The current version is not clear, because you cannot eliminate a pronunciation without either eliminating the sound altogether (which is not what happened here) or replacing the pronunciation with some other pronunciation. Daniel Bunčić (de wiki · talk · en contrib.) 14:31, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
