Hebrew belongs to the Afro-Asian language family. More than seven million individuals in the occupied Palestinian territory speak this language. The Hebrew language was known by many names, including the language of Canaan (which is mentioned in the Torah), the Jewish language (because it is an important language in the Jewish religion), and the sacred language (due to the revelation of the Torah), but the most well-known is the Hebrew language (where it was named). This name is given to the Hebrews, who brought the language after the Canaanites.
