bbbut ח doesnt look the same as ה ????

checkmate, Jude

@svarozhyc nope, absolutely not.

why would you transliterate סחר same as סהר <:sadgon:544640228166598657>

i mean i know *you* wouldnt

i mean you in general

the impersonal "you"

Because h fills in for both ח and ה

was the transliteration rules made by a german?

In the transliteration

😛

@svarozhyc probably

fucking germans

There was a "language war" between German and Hebrew when the Technion established.

is there somewhere i can listen to these words?

gtranslate doesnt support jewy apparently

i could technically use IPA

fuck ipa tbh

@Dostayer well, there is not much consistency in the hebrew script where the same letter changes identity based on the placement in the word

I would've recorded it if I was in an environment

I would not blame that on transliteration

ahhhh

the plot thiccens

@Uksio there are actual rules for it, nobody learns them

But it has to do with the Nikud

sure

Transliteration was meant to denote a letter, not the sound though

So it is not phonetically authentic

transliteration of any language carries the same issue, because every natural language has at least some discrepancy between written and the sounds

Which you wouldn't see outside of elementary school books/in cases there's a need to show how to pronounce it.

I can think of ways to make it better though

Like writing some diacritics near the transliteration to denote the correct sound

There's no good way to denote it in English TBH

or make everyone write in ipa under threat of death

Or Latin Alphabet for that matter

You need the IPA

its extremely useful

Latin isn't enough.

Unless you want the writing look like polish
