Hebrew is alive and well, and has remained so in every Synagogue in the world, so there's no need or reason to resurrect it.

Actually, bat(rule10) crazy as the opening poster is, he got one thing right.

Hebrew has been "resurrected" since the 1950s.

The term "dead language" has a specific meaning in linguistics; it's a language for which no 'native speakers," meaning people who learned the language as infants, exist. Latin, for example, although fairly widely studied, is a dead language -- mothers don't speak it to their babies and children don't babble it to their fellows in preschool. Ancient Greek is similarly dead, and so are many other languages known to specialists (Cornish, &c).

From about 100CE to 1950CE, Hebrew was on that list, too. Hebrew was a learned language of the synagogue but children didn't babble it to their parents. With the foundation of Israel, Jews started using a modernized version of the language, and most importantly, started speaking it to their children; as a result, there is a living, vibrant culture of native Hebrew speakers today.

Please. You must mean LISP. When we finally meet aliens, we'll find them programming is some dialect of LISP! :).

Are you using translation software? I'm only asking because this makes almost no sense.

The choice of words and overall message makes it sound like the same translator Dr Bronner used for his soap labels. Although, the OP could use a few more hyphens and exclamation marks.

If I understand the OP, we should all maintain our individual language and culture, but have a common language to facilitate cross-cultural communication. Yeah, we're getting pretty close, thanks Mr Internet. Just please leave out all the religious mumbo jumbo.

And that common language should be Hebrew.

I can agree with #1 and #2,... but I think #3 is silly. English and Mandarin Chinese both have hundreds of times more speakers, and English is also well-suppored technologically (unlike Chinese, which has a real problem in its tens of thousands of characters). I can't really take any other language's claim to be a better universal language seriously.
 
Groundbreaking New Scientific Theories

First Runner Up
If an infinite number of rednecks riding in an infinite number of pickup trucks fire an infinite number of shotgun rounds at an infinite number of highway signs, they will eventually produce all the world's great literary works in Braille.

<snip/>

Third Runnner Up
Communist China is technologically underdeveloped because they have no alphabet and therefore cannot use acronyms to communicate ideas at a faster rate.

<snip/>

Honourable Mention
The quantity of consonants in the English language is constant. If omitted in one place, they turn up in another. When a Bostonian "pahks" his "cah," the lost r's migrate southwest, causing a Texan to "warsh" his car and invest in "erl wells."

In a history there were many “imperil” languages that tried to be common.
For because all of them, including English (the last candidate to become common) had a great danger – world monolingualisation they can’t be the common languages of Global Bilingual Future God believers World.

Why not?

Only Hebrew – the language of Bible recreated magically after 2700 years of death can and have to be this common language of national – Resurrected Hebrew bilingual Global world.

Why?

I do not want to make any limits to modern expansion of English.
But God strongly wishes to return all people to HIS RESURRECTED HOLY LANGUAGE.

As Jackalgirl noted, how do you know this?

Koran and Torah language are God Holy ones.
But Arabic did not go throw died and resurrection.
I am absolutely sure that Muhammad and Jesus and Moshe are celebrate together the first Holy Language and Israel State resurrection as the beginning of post monolingual global world.

Mohammed, maybe. His followers, not so much.

Aha! I stand corrected. I think I understand what the OP is saying (well, in that regard at least). Thanks!

Happy bit bucket to ya!

You're free to disengage as needed, but I'll enjoy your company.

You've joined a very interesting equivalence class : Dawkins, articulett, myself, and yourself, in order of discovered membership.

I've decided I need to start some threads - it has been a long time.

First will be on victory and mental illness.

Second will be on We are Dad, some truly good people, some truly nasty people, and a case study on what a destructive force religion can be.

Yep... count me amongst the few and proud-- the militant and strident even.

Daring to resurrect language from an old thread...

in honor of Lord Language Resurrection, I'd like to quote Kathy Griffin, when I say "suck it, Jesus".
 
But the Tower was destroyed cause dividing constructors on many nations and languages misunderstanding each other.
Click to expand...
Well this is certainly a revelation. I was always taught that before the tower of Babel was built there was only one language. God was mad or something because they tried to reach heaven, so he confused their languages so it would fall down and go boom. God did not WANT all languages as one, because it made people too powerful.

So... According to the Bible anyway... God made this multilingual problem.
But what the heck do atheists know?
Let's take a look at that Bible Story:

Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
Click to expand...
Hey! This sounds like there was one language once.

... 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
Click to expand...
God looked down and saw them. Man they're gonna get it now... If you ask me, God seems a little less than omniscient here. At least not very proactive. Maybe he was distracted by all the evil, and hadn't noticed the construction project until it got up near the clouds.
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Click to expand...
DARN THEM!!! Ignorance is bliss. Well, this is a fairly well established case for belief.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
Click to expand...
Amen. And so it is today.
The lesson seems clear that one language angered God, and would now just as much as it did then.
 
Most influent world events:
1 Moshe gets script precept from God on language of Israel People and not Egypt language.
2 Enlightenment Buddha.
3 Jesus Resurrection.
4 Muhammad gets Koran from God.
5 God Language Resurrection.
6 God Home State Resurrection on the same place, with the same Name, with native revived Holy Language speakers.

Five of them have straight connection with one place – God Home State, had resurrected after 2700 years of death.
Those facts - trivial God imperative message to HIS PEOPLE – to form Holy Resurrected Language – mother language natively speaking bilingual children all over the world.

According Jewish lowers we have no right to make missioners deals, but we have right to give Holy Resurrected Language to all children of the world.

Hebrew – National languages bilingual world will save all nations cultures from today’s Global Cosmopolitan denation.

Monolingual world – all national cultures, national confesses incompatible world.
God Resurrected Language – every nation languages bilingual world - all national cultures, national confesses compatible world.



Jewish people had survived for resurrect Holy Language and God Home State and for giving Hebrew revived to every world people.
The most Israel people are Hebrew - the country of an outcome languages – bilingual ones.
The greatest mistake will be if we after one – two generations will become Hebrew native speaking monolinguals!
Israelites have remain all nations languages – God Resurrected Language natively speaking bilinguals for ever!
 
Is it me, or is it getting harder to penetrate Nationalcosmopolitan's language?
