could you fill as in on where you got your knowledge of terminology such as palatial - the difference in sound between a palatial s and a sibilant s.
a book? tape? degree course in phonetics? I doubt it was a website!

Actual I got my knowledge of such terminology from Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan's commentary on Sefer Yetzirah.
jdl4ever:
You still don't understand that I do lengthen the Daled and not the "AAA" in Echod. If you hold your tongue at your palate and release it you get a sharp D with an abrupt ending like we usually say Deled but if you hold the original position on your palete without releasing it you get a constant "D" that can last for a whole minute.
Also you don't know for sure that the Arabic prononciation today is exactly the same as it was 500 years ago so I need some more proof.

How wildly different could it really have been?
Either way, there is another language with an even more identical alphabet hebrew than Arabic. It is called Aramaic and it pronounces these consonants exactly as I do and have explained in my audios.
How much more proof do you need? Especialy when you know the pronunciation you currently use is obviously incorrect.
jdl4ever:
I brought proof from Shoftim that regional differences in the prononciation of Hebrew is irrelevant since a tribe pronounced the Shin as a Sin and we can assume they were doing that for quite some time and Moses or Joshua didn't make them change it. I know it is not the exact same way how they pronounced it 1000 years ago but that is irrelevant since languages change over time especially regionally where different groups of people living in different areas tend to pronounce the letters differently over a long time period. Although I support the notion that in Israel, the official Hebrew should be the original way it was pronounced 1000 years ago.

I only care about your last sentence. It's the only one that matters and I like it.
