Hebrew is an ancient language. And throughout thousands of years, different versions of Hebrew have emerged. Most people are familiar with the Modern Israeli Hebrew but rarely hear other forms. In this video, you can hear a Yemenite Jew showcase the differences in Hebrew pronunciation preserved in his community. And then you can hear a Samaritan Israelite vocalize the type of Hebrew that his community preserved. Sit on their dialogue as they go back and forth together comparing their Hebrew pronunciations.
