Tiberian vocalization

The word vocalization can refer to several different things: In animals, vocalization is a means of communication generated in many cases by their primitive versions of vocal chords. In birds, it may be achieved by whistling but can communicate a number of things including danger. It is also used to describe the noises made via the blowhole of mammalian sea creatures such as whales and porpoises. In humans, it is a special means of communication called speech.

Hebrew-to-English transliteration is wildly inconsistent. Different standards occur simultaneously, often in the same document. An article might use the official Israeli transliteration standard for a Hebrew town name in Israel, and then an Anglicized German standard for a religious Hebrew term according to American Ashkenazim, and then an academic standard with diacritical marks for a precise Hebrew spelling and pronunciation. And so on. A variety of transliteration standards results from the inadequacy of the Latin alp ...

The Tiberian vocalization was devised in order to add indications of pronunciation to the consonantal text of the Hebrew Bible, without changing the consonantal text. It was intended for experts in Biblical Hebrew grammar and morphology. Transliterations usually avoid the typographically complex marks that are used in Tiberian vocalization. They also attempt to indicate vowels and syllables more explicitly than Tiberian vocalization does. Therefore a technical transliteration requires the use of Tiberian principles, as mentioned below ...

A further complication is that the Roman alphabet does not have as many letters for certain sounds found in the Hebrew alphabet, and sometimes no letter at all. Some romanizations resolve this problem using additional non-Tiberian principles: The two letters that represent a stop may be written using the forward and backward quote marks, or similar marks. Certain consonants are considered "emphatic" (the consonants ח ט צ), due to being pronounced traditionally toward the back of the mouth. They may be transliterated ...

Different purposes call for different choices of romanization. One extreme is to make a phonetic transcription of one person's speech on one occasion. In Israel, a pronunciation known as General Israeli Hebrew or Standard Hebrew is widely used and documented. For Israeli speech and text where linguistic groups are not at issue, romanization can use a phonetic transcription according to Standard Hebrew pronunciation. However, there are many Israeli gro ...

Romanized Hebrew can be used to present Hebrew terminology or text to anyone who is not familiar with Hebrew writing. Many Jewish prayer books include supplementary romanization for some or all of the Hebrew-language congregational prayers. Romanized Hebrew is also used for Hebrew-language items in library catalogs and Hebrew-language place names on maps. In Israel, most catalogs and maps use the Hebrew script, but romanized maps are easily available and road signs include romanized names. Some Hebrew speakers use romanization to communicate when using Internet s ...

Early romanization of Hebrew occurred with the contact between the Romans and the Jews. It was influenced by earlier transliteration into the Greek language. For example, the name of the Roman province of Iudaea (63 BCE) was apparently derived the Greek words ᾿Ιούδα (Iouda) and ᾿Ιουδαίᾳ (Ioudaia). These words can be seen in Chapter 1 of Esdras (Ezra) in the Septuagint, a Hellenistic translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek. The Greek words in turn are transliterations of the Hebrew word י� ...
