Hebrew is the official language of Israel. Spoken in ancient Palestine, Hebrew is at least 3000 years old. Its spoken usage declined from the 9th century, then revived in the 18th century. Modern Hebrew written and speech forms highly complement each other in order to meet modern needs; it is the only colloquial speech based on the written forms. As of 2022, it is estimated that 9 million people speak Hebrew, and 5 million people speak Hebrew as a native language.
