Re: About Hebrew pronunciation

I'm talking about Modern Hebrew, the one which is spoken in Israel today.

Do sephardic speakers keep the pharyngeal consonants? I have also noticed
there is a trend regularly to omit glottal stops (at least in the
ashkenazic pronunciation), does this happen with the sephardic
pronunciation?

I also read somewhere that in casual / fast speech 'ayin ( voiced
pharyngeal) is omitted. Can anyone verify this?
Thanks.
