The official language of Israel is Hebrew. It is one of the oldest languages still in use today and has significant historical and cultural importance, especially in Jewish tradition. Modern Hebrew, which is spoken today, was revived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and differs from ancient Hebrew primarily in vocabulary and pronunciation. Arabic is also an official language in Israel, reflecting the country’s Arab population. Hebrew is used in government, education, and media, and the revival of the language has had a profound impact on Israeli identity and culture.
