I guess you could say that I speak Ancient Hebrew... I'm sure if i tried
to have an actual conversation in it with someone i would unintentionally
throw in a lot of modernisms, or not use various features of the ancient
dialect correctly, but i can read it and understand it pretty well. And
my pronounciation is mostly assumed Classical Tiberian, too.
