Baby Hebrew Problems

Head ache in Hebrew is כאב ראש K4eV Ro45

In case there are any Hebrew transliteration apologist who try to explain away all the head aches, I have listed the immense and crippling effects of baby Hebrew. Why is this relevant? Because I care, and I don't think there is a good reason anyone should have to suffer. Simply put "adopt baby Hebrew, adopt baby Hebrew problems". We know what baby Hebrew problems are. I love discussing this topic because I know Hebrew can be a very easy language. Question: Is the perceived difficulty of Hebrew just a transliteration incompatibility or problem? I would argue the answer is yes! The entire perceived difficulty is nothing but a broken foundation. Consider the following

Baby Hebrew has
2 silent letters

2 V's

2 KH's

2 T's

2 K's

2 S's

Baby Hebrew suffers from immense disadvantages such as the following
*Reliance on IPA symbols
*need to download special fonts with transliteration
*Reliance on the shift key
*takes five times as long to do something as simple as look up a word in the dictionary.
*increased spelling errors due to ambiguity
*just plain difficulty spelling
*quadrupled memory load
*difficulty memorizing verbal patterns or conjugating due to silent letters and seemingly ignoring syllabalification. For instance the names of the verbs are broken. Paal instead of Pa7aL ect, ect...
*broken root system also due to ambiguity: (works at only 60%efficiency)

Hebrew can take months instead of years to learn. It's difficulty is just an illusion and is entirely a result of incompatible vowel points and sweeping letters under the rug. Romanization is always going to be a necessity. Baby Hebrew way brings baby Hebrew problems. Mnemonic Hebrew is free of all these disadvantages. The numbers may seem foreign but they will be your best friends when you recognize them as your allies there to cut the time it takes to look up and acquire new words.

Perfect dot system

I will attempt to show that the markings are too perfect and in fact impossible to have been invented. I will do so by analyzing Jewish dialects and the alphabet itself. But first let me make this bold statement. "Being Jewish does not teach a Pearson Hebrew any faster". Yes I know, absurd. OK so we must look at six double letters: B, G, D and their twins P, K, T. Do me a favor and say PoPoPo. Don't feel silly, just trust me. Now say  BoBoBo. Notice any similarities? B and P are exactly the same sounds! Only one difference! B is a little more complex. With B you activate your vocal chords. B has a twin, P. G has a twin, K. D has a twin, T! That is the logic of the double letters. The double letters only exist because of these points. We would not even be aware of them without them. There is even more to say. Why would eastern Jews preserve both p, v and g if they were not apart of ancient Hebrew. These sounds do not exist in Arabic. But g does in like one dialect. See the problem? Furthermore the b sound is formed with a dot, not the absence of. Another huge problem for those that like to perpetuate the myth of an invented dot system. There are even more problems. If you think that Hebrew has only plosive double letters than why does Arabic not have a p? The only logical conclusion that exists is what Hebrews have always said through out history. The dot system existed since the beginning of time along side the alphabet. This is linguistically supported.

Hebrew Teeth

OK so.... The twenty two letters of the Hebrew alphabet make 32 sounds that correspond to the thirty two teeth in your mouth. 22 letters, plus 7 doubles or letters that make a different sound with a dot, plus 2 letters that soften or change before a front vowel, equals 31, plus 5in/sin, equals 32.

To pin point what exact sound each letter makes we use IPA symbols which are in pink. Two letters are best described using the corresponding Arabic letters which are in green. The letters that change before a front vowel (e or i) are in orange. Lastly the sounds that really aren't in English are in blue. 4alef is a glottal stop and is everywhere in English, we just don't have a letter for it and it for what ever reason is a challenge. So it has a different shade of blue.

That's it. That's everything. No sugar coating(bad for your teeth), no dumbing down. Why is it important to learn all the sounds? Because it makes the alphabet and root system work efficiently, it reduces homophones, ambiguity and the memory load. The blue letters are the ones most people will have a challenge with but if your lucky you might already know them. Anyways, Baby Hebrew is fine too but the payoff of learning these is well worth it. The numbers you see in transliteration are called the Mnemonic Hebrew Numbers. Mnemonic Hebrew does not take the route of Baby Hebrew in which the phonetic inventory is reduced but rather encourage and represents all sounds. All Jewish dialects are represented in Mnemonic Hebrew.

To remove sounds from Hebrew is like pulling a good tooth. To learn the sounds of Hebrew is like brushing your teeth.

Who invented MNEMONIC?

Who invented MNEMONIC? Well it is ironic that I recently have been attacked with using a reconstruction but the truth is that anyone that learns mnemonic learns every single dialect as it has all the sounds. Now linguistically speaking MNEMONIC is a hundred percent real Hebrew. How? Well it acknowledges all double letters which are plosive with a dot and fricative without. To be perfectly honest any dialect that does do this is more accurately labeled a reconstruction than MNEMONIC, because the Hebrew alphabet just works only one way. Further more MNEMONIC has more in common with Semitic languages because it has both glides and uses them to represent vowels. To use a bilabial to represent vowels is nothing short of a reconstruction. Mnemonic did not invent the double letters ha5em did that. Mnemonic did not choose to use glides to represent vowels. Ha5em did that. Mnemonic Hebrew is simply real, politically neutral and unambiguous Hebrew that will not succumb to plagiarism. The credit goes to the creator. He made the alphabet logical with 32 sounds corresponding to the teeth in the mouth. He made the dot logic in the vowels. He made the voiced counter parts of sin/5in to be factors of 21. He preserved the sounds of his beautiful language in lips of his scattered people.

The root system, plosive/fricative double letters, syllabification and sounds in mnemonic functions at a hundred percent full capacity.
