Hi. My name is Yochai Cohen. I was born in Israel, my parents were from Tunis, my grandfather and grandmother were from Tunis, and the place in Tunis, it is called Djerba, it's an island ... in Tunisia, there are [were] Jewish families [and] Muslim families there that lived together. My grandparents arrived in Israel in the year '48. At home we spoke the Hebrew language, which I am speaking now, and I really ? the Hebrew language, really ? the Hebrew language, I really love the Hebrew language, and I also sing in this language. I am a cantor in a synagogue, in New York, in Brooklyn New York, where we speak, we pray in Hebrew in our synagogue. I also teach [transmit] classes in Hebrew. And at home they also spoke Arabic. The Arabic which we speak is not the Arabic spoken the spoken Arabic--that the Syrians, the Egyptians speak. Every ethnic group has its (own) Arabic (dialect). Djerba Arabic, Tunisian Arabic, are mixed with words in Hebrew as well, and this unique slang that was in Djerba, this slang is different from many places in the world. Some things related to the Hebrew language and the Arabic language, one of the things that I know is that Maimonedes wrote that the Hebrew language...

I know that Maimonides wrote that the Hebrew language of course is more ancient than the Arabic language and the Arabic language this is a development/progression of the Hebrew language. One can say progression, one can also say they changed a change/transformation of the Hebrew language, they ? and changed the Hebrew language. Today the language that we speak, that the majority speaks, is not Biblical Hebrew; Biblical Hebrew has much to say, much to say, most people today don't understand the language that much. Only if you learn Hebrew from the Tanakh, from the Torah, then? you can understand the Biblical language. That which we speak on the street, it's a language that was created in the last years, the last sixty years, like Eliezer Ben-Yehuda and some other people who developed a new language, and this which we speak and which I speak, of course this is the Hebrew language, there are words which I speak that are in the Torah, but this is a language which... we don't so much use? ? in the Torah.

In Djerba, there were people who spoke a lot of Hebrew, of course the rabbis, the sages would use Hebrew in their writings, but of course also in the street they would speak Arabic. And I will give you an example about the Djerba and Tunisian language, how they speak, some words that I will give you examples regarding Arabic and Hebrew. If, for example, they want to ask someone in the Arabic language "how are you?", then they will ask him "kif el 7aal" or..."kif el 7aal" generally this is the word that they ask someone in Arabic. In Tunisian Arabic, they have a bit of a different accent...

the basis of the Hebrew language (was concocted?) from the Torah, the Torah is ..., the Torah is the foundation of the Hebrew language, and from there it developed as well the grammar of the Hebrew language also developed, ? speech of way of speaking? spoken form? the Hebrew language developed as well, and people [still] speak this language up until now. There are not so many Jews in the world, we even are less than about one percent in the whole world. ? this means that the language ? is not a language spoken so much in the world, but still almost everyone in the world, not everyone but many people in the world know who the Jews are and that their language is the Hebrew language. Thank you very much.
I feel like he didn't pronounce most Hebrew words with the Arabic or Tiberian pronunciation, yet it sounds like he said, for example, "akhuz" with the classical pronunciation of the khet (that is, like Arabic ح) at 6:07.
