Hebrew is a language native to Israel. Hebrew had ceased to be an everyday spoken language somewhere between 200 and 400 CE. Then, in the 19th century, it was revived as a spoken and literary language, and, per Ethnologue, had become, as of 1998, the language of 5 million people worldwide. After Israel, the United States has the second largest Hebrew-speaking population, with 220,000 fluent speakers, mostly from Israel. The Hebrew language is the only living Canaanite language left. This is because it was revived as a spoken language beginning in the late 19th century.
