Some English-Hebrew Similarities


English words and even its Grammar are similar to that of Hebrew.

We have one book on this subject:

Hebrew English-The Israelite Input into the Modern Anglo-Saxon Language
https://hebrewnations.com/publications/books/language.html

# "Hebrew English" demonstrates how the English Language encompasses many Hebrew Words, Hebrew Linguistic features, and Hebrew thought patterns. English is a composite tongue derived from several sources. Nevertheless, the English-speaking peoples created a language consistent with a Hebrew Prototype being ever present in their collective sub-conscious. This work lists English words of Hebrew origin as well as giving the conventional etymology of each word. This proves in hundreds of cases that even though English is related to European tongues it has a greater affinity in some ways to Hebrew than to them. #

We have another work in preparation on other aspects of the same subject. This work shows parallels between English grammar and common usage and Biblical Hebrew.
It also lists many more words in English and Hebrew that emanate from the same source.

In addition we may also show how putative Hebrew word roots could have given rise to English words even though no known parallel Hebrew word exists.

By way of comparison,
The poet Geoffrey Chaucer (1340s- 1400 CE) lived more than 600 years ago. The poetry of Chaucer required a Glossary to understand it. Less than 20% of the words in Chaucer are the same as those in Modern English.
The Ten Tribes left the Land of Israel in conventional chronology about 2700 years ago. They spoke their own version of Hebrew at the time. Betwwen 10% to 15% (maybe more) of English Words today have close parallels in Hebrew.
Etymological Dictionaries purport to show where English words come from. They give parallels in other languages (German, Nordic, Latin, French, etc) but these are often less similar than Hebrew words having the same meaning or a related one.

Here are a few examples of English words that probably have Hebrew origin.
