Hebrew in its modern form is spoken by people in Israel while Classical
Hebrew has been used for prayer or study in Jewish communities around the world for over two thousand years. The modern word 'Hebrew' is derived from the word 'ivri' one of several names for the Jewish people.

English languageEnglish is West Germanic language brought to Britain in the 5th Century AD by Germanic settlers from various parts of northwest
Germany. Historically,
English originated from the fusion of languages and dialects, called Old English, with the word 'English' being derived from the name of the Angles. The language was further influenced by the Old Norse language with Viking invasions in the 8th and 9th century. A significant number of
English words are constructed based on roots from Latin, because Latin in some form was the lingua franca of the Christian Church and of European intellectual life.
