Verse:Irta/Modern Hebrew: Difference between revisions

Line 12:

* tav~tet /t̪ʰ/ and dalet /d̪/ have postvocalic allophones [θ] and [ð] (which don't correspond to lack of dagesh); this feature arose via hypercorrection and because some of the founder population's Ăn Yidiș dialects had the same feature.

** ''Really'' snobby prescriptivists would insist that leniting dageshed tav, tet or dageshed dalet is incorrect, but basically no one would actually succeed at the "correct" pronunciation; they'd at best fail to lenite (which is like our Israeli Hebrew).

* /h/ is usually not dropped even in colloquial speech.

* Since Ăn Yidiș has final /h/, Irta Modern Hebrew pronounces he mappiq (final /h/) and doesn't have the /-Vɑh/ > /-Vhɑ/ metathesis like our Israeli Hebrew.

** הַכְצַעֲקָתָהּ /haxtsaakʰɒˈθɒh/ 'is it that bad/serious?' (expression from the Bible; lit. 'is it as its outcry')
