Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, Father Of Modern Hebrew
It is known that many of the world’s languages are constantly slipping into extinction, particularly in an age of globalization in which the world’s major languages dominate international interchange.
Hebrew, the language of the Bible, never became extinct, but rather was mainly the language of Jewish study, prayer and scholarly texts. In their long exile, the Jews in the main adopted the languages of their host countries as their everyday means of communication. They also “invented” Judaic languages of their own, based to a great extent on the languages of their domiciles. The two most known of these are Yiddish of the Ashkenazi Jews of middle Europe, and Ladino, the Spanish-based language of the Jews who were expelled from Spain.
That Hebrew became again a spoken, living language and the main language of the modern State of Israel is due to a great extent to the single-minded determination of a man named Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, the driving spirit behind the revival of the Hebrew language in the modern era.
