Most amazing article ever! I love hearing about mizraci Hebrew! I read the whole thing

Here are some tidbits about the 'ayin and het:

Talmud Meghilla (24 and Yerushlami Berakhoth 82).  "Those who read the 'ayin like aleph are not to publicly read from the Torah and are not to participate in the blessing of the Cohanim".

I shall quote from my mentor, Ben Siyyon Cohen "If, until now they had an excuse to say 'it wasn't our fault for we didn't know the pronunciation of the het and 'ayin and we had nobody from whom to learn'.  Behold, now in the Land of Israel they have the ability and opportunity to learn and yet they make no effort to do so or to teach them to their children.  Those people will be judged as though they sinned on purpose.  For how can a religious Jew entertain the concept of reading prayers and Torah while substituting the aleph for the 'ayin?.  How will he read "wa'avadhtem ("you shall serve" but, with an aleph, it would mean "you shall destroy") G-d".  "Nishba' haShem ("you will swear to G-d" but, with an aleph, it would mean "G-d will be taken captive")".  "Laahava eth hashem ul'ovdo ("to love G-d and to serve Him" but, with an aleph, it would mean "to love G-d and to lose Him")".  And similar to these?  Is this not blasphemy and cursing heavenward if he is able to learn to pronounce the 'ayin and yet he is too lazy, or for whatever reason, neglects doing so?  How much more so those who err and misinterpret "Do not forsake the teachings of your mother..." as if they were commanded to pursue traditions even after it becomes clear that they are corrupt...  How much more so if he is in the Land of Israel, that if he wishes to learn, he can learn the correct pronunciation of the letters easily and yet he makes no effort.  He will be judged as "mezid" (sinning on purpose) and as one who makes light (of the commandments)..."

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.
