Hebrew in Lõis was revived by English-speaking Jews, but it's mostly a hobbyist thing in small communities. Most speakers today use a loosely Togarmite accent:

* beth, kaf, pe, tav without dagesh are /v, x, f, θ/)

* Shva is dropped using similar rules to Israeli Hebrew.

* Tsere /ɛɪ/ is reduced to [ɛ] in unstressed syllables, merging with segol /ɛ/, and cholam /əʏ/ is reduced to [œ] in unstressed syllables.

The grammar is nearly identical to our Israeli Hebrew (using suffix conjugation = past, participle = present, prefix conjugation = future, l- + infinitive construct = infinitive), but different analogies are made than in Israeli Hebrew and there are calques from English not used in Israeli Hebrew, such as מה מעלה ''ma ~~má'alo~~'' = "what's up?"

The original normative standard for the accent was the ''Havohróh Măcubéleth'' accent. However,

''Havohróh Măcubéleth'' today is usually regarded as antiquated or pretentious, like how the Mid-Atlantic accent is perceived by English speakers.
