Ivrit

…After the 13th century, Hebrew as a written language declined due to persecution of Jews, but the Enlightenment movement in Europe in the 18th century turned Jews to Biblical Hebrew, which sparked its revival as the everyday language of Jews living in Palestine through the dedicated efforts of E. Ben Yehuda (1858-1922). After the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Modern Hebrew (Ivrit) became one of the official languages ​​of the state, along with Arabic, and is now the first language of many Israeli citizens, including non-Jews.
