Abstract

Latin script for Hebrew is being used in many domains. A uniform system is desirable, and might be better achieved by a phonemic conversion rather than by transliteration or transcription. In this approach a unified set of rules of writing covers all periods of Hebrew, while for each period and dialect a separate set of reading rules should be formulated. Thus we consider Hebrew to be one language since it first appeared until this day, but recognize different realizations of the language in various periods. Both kinds of rules are supplied here, and a third set of "reconstruction rules," that is, re-converting converted texts into regular Hebrew script is also given.
