Yisreh'eyleeth Ehlef Beyth (אֶלֶף־בֵּית יִּשְׂרְאֵלִית)

The Yisreh'eyleeth Ehlef Beyth (Yisra'elite Alphabet), also referred to simply as the Yisreh'eyleeth Letters, is the ancient and true script of the people of Yisra'eyl. Unlike modern Hebrew alphabets that have adopted Aramaic and post-exilic forms and pronunciations, the Yisreh'eyleeth system restores the original names, sounds, and meanings of each letter according to their earliest known roots in Paleo-Hebrew, Proto-Sinaitic, and Semitic pictographic origins.

This reconstructed alphabet is not just a set of phonetic symbols but a deeply meaningful collection of symbols of life, creation, covenant, and culture. Each letter conveys a unique identity and visual symbolism, tied to both linguistic and theological truths embedded in the lives and laws of Yisra'eyl.

These 29 letters—each with a precise pronunciation, historical pictograph origin, and meaning—form the foundation of Yisreh'eyleeth writing and pronunciation. The system includes both consonants and consonantal-vowels and is distinct from all other Semitic abjads due to its purity, consistency, and restoration to truth.

Purpose of Restoration

The modern "Hebrew" script is not the language of Yisra'eyl but of its captors and of those that have usurped them. Aramaic influence, post-exilic reforms, and rabbinic traditions have corrupted both the spoken and written forms. The Yisreh'eyleeth Ehlef Beyth corrects this by:

• Returning to the original letter names, derived from their Proto-Sinaitic and Hebrew roots.
• Restoring the original phonemes, including all gutturals, voiced and voiceless sounds.
• Clarifying true definitions, based on ancient pictographic meanings rather than rabbinic speculation.
• Removing inaccuracies like the use of "v" in "Vav" or modern soft-hard pairings that never existed in early Yisra'eyleeth usage.
