Chart of the Alphabet in the Hebrew Language Key Ring

Hebrew is a Semitic language of the Afroasiatic language family. Culturally, it is considered the language of the Jewish people, though other Jewish languages had originated among diaspora Jews, and the Hebrew language is also used by non-Jewish groups, such as the Samaritans. Modern Hebrew is spoken by most of the seven million people in Israel while Classical Hebrew has been used for prayer or study in Jewish communities around the world. The language is attested from the 10th century BCE to the late Second Temple period, after which the language developed into Mishnaic Hebrew. It is one of the official languages of Israel, along with Arabic. Image reproduction rights can be found in the link near the bottom of this description.
