Zuckermann, Ghil'ad is an Israeli/British linguist who argues that Israeli (his term for Modern Hebrew) is a "semi-engineered" Semito-European hybrid language, simultaneously based on Yiddish (the revivalists' mother tongue), Hebrew (a literary/liturgical language) and other languages. His publications include the books Language Contact and Lexical Enrichment in Israeli Hebrew (2003) and Hebrew as Myth (2005).
