Question 2: What language is used in Israel? The reuse of Hebrew is unique in the history of linguistics. It brings a language that no one has spoken for nearly 2000 years back to the daily spoken language of thousands of families.
Hebrew is the national language of Jews and one of the oldest languages in the world. It belongs to a branch of Semite language family in the Middle East. It has no vowels, only 22 consonants, and Chinese characters are written from right to left. Many literary works and documents were created in this language, but today they are mainly preserved in the Bible, the Dead Sea scrolls and a large number of Talmud and documents.
In 70 BC, the Romans destroyed the Jewish capital Jerusalem. Jews were expelled from their homes and scattered all over the world. They use the language of the host country, resulting in the gradual disappearance of Hebrew as a spoken language (but it continues to exist as a written language).
/kloc-in the second half of the 0/9th century, a Jew was determined to revive Hebrew. He is Aries, a Lithuanian Jewish youth? Ben. Yehuda. 1879, yehuda published a paper "Issues Concerning the Overall Situation", arguing that the Jewish nation, as an independent nation, faced great problems in its survival under the assimilation pressure of the modern secular world; The same language and the same homeland are the necessary conditions for the existence of the Jewish nation. In order to ensure the continuity of the country and the revival of the nation, Jews must speak Hebrew again.
Yehuda is determined to speak only Hebrew when dealing with other Jews. His first child became the first Hebrew-speaking child in nearly 2000 years. 1884 began to edit weekly newspapers to further publicize their ideas; At the same time, in order to prove that old sayings can be reborn and used in modern society, he set out to compile dictionaries and actively expand his vocabulary. 1890, 1890 In February, he established the Hebrew Language Committee (now the Hebrew Language Institute) to develop this cause.
Later, yehuda found some like-minded people who were willing to practice his language thought. He not only asked them to actively use Hebrew, but also insisted that the children of these pioneers learn Hebrew as their mother tongue.
Yes, Hebrew was taught in Jewish schools in Palestine at that time, but it was only taught as an ancient language to understand religions and scriptures. Therefore, yehuda's demands have little influence on Jews who have lived in the Holy Land and pioneers who have settled for many years. However, young immigrants are eager to start a new life, and many people are willing to let their children learn this language that they have never practiced.
In this budding education system, it is not difficult to imagine the difficulties encountered in the attempt to establish Hebrew, as the teacher at that time said: "The atmosphere is heavy and depressing. It's hard to imagine and describe how the first seed was planted. We are like dumb people who stutter and need the help of hands and eyes. "
After arduous exploration, by the time of World War I, 64 kindergartens, primary and secondary schools and vocational schools in Palestine had all used Hebrew.
Finally, the children who enter the school regard themselves as supporters and defenders of the Hebrew cause. It is reported that someone snatched a doll from a little girl. The girl who had only been in school for a month was taken aback, grabbed the man's sleeve and shouted in Hebrew, "Give it back! Give it back to me! " The man pretended not to understand and asked the girl to speak Yiddish, but the girl insisted on speaking Hebrew and would rather lose the doll.
On the eve of World War I, a German Jewish charity funded the establishment of a technical college (later Haifa University of Technology) in Haifa. The planner thinks that since German is an internationally recognized language, the lectures of the new college should be in German. After the news was disclosed, Jews in the Palestinian area held a series of * * * *, * * *, * * * and * * *, and the opening ceremony was forced to be postponed.
Similarly, other schools began to teach all courses in Hebrew. By the end of World War I, Hebrew was the only teaching language in technical colleges. The first generation of Hebrew-speaking families also appeared. From 65438 to 0925, the establishment of Hebrew University in Jerusalem became a national event.
According to the statistics of1916-1917, among the 85,000 Jews in Palestine, 34,000 speak Hebrew as their first language or daily language. It is worth noting that in agricultural settlement villages and Tel Aviv, 75% of children and 33% of adults speak Hebrew. The continuity of Hebrew is guaranteed.
