    I prefer Arabic over Hebrew because it has not lost its authentic accent. Hebrew on the other hand lost its accent because at one time in history they were driven away from their home land, when they returned in 1948, they had to relearn the Hebrew, alas they didn't know how to speak it in the accent their ancestors spoke it. The current Hebrew sounds like eastern Europe language

    Classical Hebrew pronunciation is almost exactly the same as Classical Arabic pronunciation. All the original Hebrew linguists stated this explicitly. The audio comparison you gave between Hebrew and Arabic only used Modern Hebrew pronunciation, which makes nearly half of the Hebrew alphabet unnecessary (ie: alef, heh, aiyn are all pronounced the same; het and khaf pronounced the same; kaf and qof pronounced the same; tet and tav pronounced the same, vet and vav pronounced the same, etc...)

    I think Hebrew and Arabic sound simmilar but it sounds to me as if Hebrew has had a MASSIVE French influence. I'd immagine that the Hebrew spoken by many of the Mizrahi Jews sounds more simmilar to Arabic, maybe because they retain the Semetic Rrr rather than the French/German R

    The throat letter sounds originally existed in the Classical Hebrew and many older Mizrahim in Israel still pronounce them. Namely, Ayin was a guttural from the throat, Alef was a glottal stop from the throat, Chet was a Heth which was in the throat, and Hei is supposed to be from the throat.

    I agree and disagree with how Hebrew is completely different from Arabic. First of all Arabic is the sister language of Hebrew, and in fact Arabic derives from Hebrew. To me as a native Hebrew speaker, the only difference with Hebrew and Arabic word soundings is the Cha’s and Ra’s (If you speak Hebrew you will know how those are supposed to sound) in Arabic they replace the Cha’s with a heavy H sound, and the Ra’s with a Heavy R sound. Besides that, If I did not know what Hebrew sounded like… I would believe it would be Arabic 100%.
    P.S Hebrew and Arabic are both very harsh languages, and some might even say Hebrew is the harshest sounding language of all time!🤔

    I agree. One obvious difference is the soft R in Hebrew. In Arabic there is a soft and a hard (rolled) R, but the latter is much more common. The intonation, accentuation of vowels, and lots of "eem" at the end of words are also giveaways..
    Interestingly, sometimes I hear people talk on the train and I think it's Hebrew, but when I pay attention, I realize that it's Dutch! Outside this, I have never confounded Hebrew with any other language.
    Also this is Levantine Arabic dialect (Palestinian accent?). Other dialects such as Gulf or North African Arabic sound very different.

    The reasons behind not able to pronounce these typical Semitic letters details as follow :
    When the Ashkenazim revived the language as they were the pioneers no doubt and they should be appreciated for their accomplishment but in the other hand they destroyed the spirit of the language as they Germanized it which means they changed many typical pure Semitic letters to sound like their German or Yiddish language ( Yiddish derived from German ) as they were/are unable to pronounce them so they shifted from east to west and I will give you some examples :
    1- The letter ח Hhet converted to German CH ( KH )
    2- The letter ט Ttet converted to normal T
    3- The letter ע A"yen converted to sound like A
    4- The letter צ Ssadi converted to German Z ( TS )
    5- The letter ק Qof converted to sound like K
    6- The letter ר Resh converted to German R ( GH )
    7- The letter ו Waw converted to German W ( V )
    they did not change all these letters sound by bad intention but because these pure Semitic letters were/are so heavy on their tongues, then Mizrahim or eastern Jews followed them step by step as the Ashkenazim were/are the founders / leaders of the new state and they are who run the state departments, schools, educational institutes and media like TVs so their broken accent prevailed . This is the fact.

    *Personally what I listen for is the distinctive throat sound in Arabic that sounds something like "huuuak". Or deep H sound coming from the throat. I have no idea what it means, but i find that sound very distinctive in the Arabic language, and as someone that doesn't speak or understand either languages, that is maybe the most noticeable sound.*

      'Palestinian' dialect of the far northern Israel is predominately the Druze dialect, which is the same as the Druze dialect in southern Syria and Lebanon. It doesn't just magically change based upon borders that are only roughly half a century old. The biggest differences are that Druze have adopted a few Hebrew words into their Arabic as slang. The Druze dialect itself is only minutely different from that of other Arab speakers in the area. The biggest differences in Arabic in Israel/'Palestine' are between city and rural speakers, and between Bedouin and non-Bedouin speakers. There are a few towns where the town itself has some unique features, usually towns that had a lot of contact with non-Arabic speakers.

      +POOP! HEAD! Well the name of the video is: "Does Hebrew *SOUND* like Arabic?", not are they similar or not. The Italian pronunciation is very different than the Spanish's one. Take for example the basic word: "tutto", that in Spanish becomes: "todo". Of course they are similar, and the origin is undoubtedly the same. Saying that, you can see how the Italian pronunciation is much stronger (very strong, double T). In Spanish not only that they softened it by changing it to the softer consonant "D" (which happens a lot, like the Italian suffix "tà", that became in Spanish "dad" [feliciTà vs. feliciDad]), they even softened it more by pronouncing the consonant D itself softer than the Italian's (like the D in "don't" vs. the american D in "ladder"). Meaning the Spanish is much more softer in pronunciation. Much more "rolling on the tongue", while Italian is very strong with all their double letters (another great example is that all the double letters in Italian became singular in Spanish). Of course if you will write the same sentence in both languages, many times it will LOOK the same, but won't SOUND the same. Arabic and Hebrew are even more noticeably different.

Lekoudesh is another little known Jewish language. It is absolutely NOT Yiddish but is a fusion of local German dialect and pure Hebrew words. It was derived as a secret language used by Jewish cattle dealers in Bavaria, Switzerland and Holland (to some degree). It is still used by some of the old non Jewish cattle dealers in Germany who learned the language from the Jews.
