Talk:Palestinian vocalization

Location problem

Does the Palestine in "Palestinian vocalization" refer to the biblical Palestine (modern day coast of SW Israel)? Komitsuki (talk) 07:57, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey

The earliest manuscripts use just six graphemes, reflecting a pronunciation similar to contemporary Sephardi Hebrew:

If contemporary here does not mean contemporary with the earliest manuscripts, as the sentence structure implies, I would suggest replacing it with today's. —Tamfang (talk) 16:55, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Agree. I had the same question about what the writer of this line actually meant. — al-Shimoni (talk) 11:56, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

unreliable note and ambiguous lacking niqqud Hebrew sample

I'm reluctant to criticise, yet the reference to furthermore onl has no specific page cited, and the text lead up to the anchor has an English grammar failure so what gives! y bothered Talk-ing

client broken; improving niqqud not reliable, can only criticise using roman letters 2A06:C701:40FA:C200:D4B5:97B6:A125:FF07 (talk) 05:35, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Specific sources stating that Shva in Palestinian vocalization was pronounced as /ə/?

For Tiberian vocalization, shva was pronounced as any of the reduced vowels according to certain rules which have been expressed by at least one author (Geoffrey Khan) but never as /ə/. Shva is not pronounced as /ə/ even in Modern Hebrew (because it is pronounced as reduced patach or mute).

Can someone clarify this, please?
