Hebrew (“Ivrit, עִבְרִית ), or “Ivrit, is a member of the Semitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family. It is the language of the Hebrew Bible and of the Old Testament of the Christians. The core of the Hebrew Bible, the Torah, traditionally believed to have been first recorded in the time of Moses 3,300 years ago, is written in Classical Hebrew.
Hebrew language, the Semitic language of the Northern Central (also called North-western) group; is closely related to Phoenician and Moabite, with which it is often placed by scholars in a Canaanite subgroup. Spoken in ancient times in Palestine, Hebrew was supplanted by the western dialect of Aramaic beginning about the 3rd century BC; the language continued to be used as a liturgical and literary language, however. It was revived as a spoken language in the 19th and 20th centuries and is the official language of Israel.

Hebrew is a language that was thought to be two thousand years old. It was a language that was set aside because settlers brought in languages of their own. It has only been recently revived and is seeing a bright future with almost 9 million people willing to share the language and teach.
