Italian Hebrew or Italki Hebrew refers to the pronunciation system for liturgical Hebrew traditionally used by Italian Jews. ==Features== The Italian pronunciation of Hebrew is similar to that of conservative Spanish and Portuguese Jews. Distinguishing features are: * ''beth raphe'' is pronounced ; * ''he'' is often silent, as in the family name "Coen"; * ''vav'' is normally as in most Hebrew dialects, but can become in diphthongs (as in the family name "Anau"). Thus, in construct masculine plurals with male singular possessive suffix יו-, the pronunciation is not [- but [-; * ''zayin'' is often pronounced like Italian voiced "z"; * ''ayin'' is pronounced (like English "ng" in "sing"). In some dialects, like the Roman, this sometimes becomes , like the Italian combination "gn"; * final ''tav'' is pronounced ; * speakers in communities south of the La Spezia isogloss, and Jewish communities transplanted north of this, pronounce ''dagesh forte'' as a true geminate sound, in keeping with the pronunciation of double letters in Italian.〔Elia S. Artom, "La pronuncia dell'ebraico presso gli Ebrei di Italia", in Scritti in memoria di F. Luzzatto, ''Rassegna Mensile di Israel'' 28 (1962): 26-30.〕 This pronunciation has in many cases been adopted by the Sephardi, Ashkenazi and ''Appam'' communities of Italy as well as by the Italian-rite communities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Italian Hebrew」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
