Israel’s Mother Tongue Has a Father – Eliezer Ben-Yehuda`s Life and Legacy (A Film by ICEJ-Germany)

Thank you so much I'm trying to learn herbrew at 68 yrs in a nursing home. Never to late.

I am a native speaker of tamil, one of the oldest language continuously spoken in the world... a very moving video for me... We too invented new words in our language that was not mentioned in our ancient literature... One such example is Bus , we broke it to "perundhu'' (பேருந்து) ...Which is a mix of two ancient tamil words Big + Push = Bus, per (பேர்,பெரிய) which means Big + undhu (உந்து) means push ... Thus perunthu was born in Tamil as a Tamil word... Yet there are some noun/technical words that we find extremely challenging like , virus, rhumetology, swab etc...Where we have no other option but to use English... Wondering how much this Ben Eleazar Yehuda must have suffered to revive this phenomenal language!! We bow with respect!! Gonna make a video on him and share it to my fellow brethren!!

As an Indian, I respect this person. We need to revive Sanskrit in Bharat.

Gottfried Buehler made a fabulous presentation of Eliezer Ben Yehuda large part in revitalizing the Hebrew language. He made it informative, interesting, or frankly, fascinating. His choice s interviewees was also brilliant.

Thank you very much. Shalom

omg so so beautiful , what a honourable human

NOSHE BAR NISSIM was very knowledge with the languages of Hebrew, Arabic, Armaic and more. he knew the Talmud and the mishna in a very high level and gave his contribution to the work of Ben-Yehuda in that areas. he helped translating the words to Arabic and Latin.

Very interesting.

God predestined Ben Yehoda pre Israel independent. To revive Hebrew language before reviving the state of Israel. All Glory to God I want to learn hebrew language here in Bangalore india. Can anyone guide me

I wish all the Jewish communities around the earth can come together wherever they are and reclaim their nation and identity ,,,,,,,,or those that are scattered where ever they are, support those Israelis that are still fighting for Jews state

They never lost their language.

অনেক দুঃখ কষ্টের পর তারা নিজেকে তৈরি করেছে অনেক লড়াইয়ের পর এটা থেকে মুসলিমদের অনেক শিক্ষা নেওয়া উচিত আছে এই প্রজন্মের

100 years commemoration

The language was not "dead" as per say, it was kept alive by a minority that studied Torah every day for centuries.

language system of root, suffix and prefix is also how English is written and created.
