How To Pronounce the Paleo-Hebrew, Aramaic, and Hebrew alphabet CORRECTLY!

עבדי רעותי בה
Aybdy Rayuthy Beh = My Servant, My Delight in.
Smooth english flow: My delight is in my servant.
- Safaria.org transliterates עבדי רעותי בה as Aběday Rěoothee Bahh in english but my rendering would be slightly different: Aybidy Rayuthy Beh
- Aybdy (“Ay” as in “Ice”). The reason why it isn’t just an “ah” sound because Aramaic/Hebrew letter א is the “ah” sound. The letter ע is the “Ay” sound (“ah-ee-s”).
- bidy (“i” as in “install”) is entered between the two consonants due to the natural “ih” sound that is audible when pronouncing two consonants together. Search: “epenthesis” for more info ℹ️
- Rayuthy (“Rah-ee-u-thee”) the “th” is not pronounced with the tongue in between the teeth, but with the tongue pressed against the roof of the mouth. The sound is a soft “t” and not a sibilant “t” as in the name “Tom” or the word “tomorrow”.
- Beh (“b-eh”) the rule in ancient Aramaic is that the final “h” is the “eh” sound.
