Hebrew romanization guide

Classical/ Liturgical Jewish Hebrew differences
Only differences from Modern/ Israeli Hebrew are listed.

Notes and exceptions
Stress is on the second to last syllable in words ending with consonant sounds, and on the last syllable with words ending in vowel sounds. The exceptions are thus:


 * All but a few inflectional suffixes bear stress, even when they end with a consonant.
 * Marked long vowels take stress, as do vowels after a long consonant.
 * Variant pronunciation of some proper names.
