Is hebrew related to akkadian or sumerian?

Answer 1

Yes, of course.

All three languages are Semitic, alongside with Aramaic, Arabic, Amharic, Ugaritic, Moabite, Phoenician, Edomite and many others…
The Semitic languages are quite similar with their syntactic structure, roots, conjugating of the verbs etc.

Akkadian and Sumerian are both of the East Brunch of the family, while Hebrew, Arabic and Aramaic are of the West Brunch of it, so the different languages are not understandable to one another.
Despite this- the resemblance of the Semitic languages is still substantial: I'm a Hebrew speaker and I speak neither Akkadian, nor Sumerian, but when looking at old scripts of these two languages, I understand some of the words, and sometimes the even the meaning of the sentence.
It is sort of like the difference between French and Spanish, German and Norwegian, or Polish and Russian.

Now for some "facts" to be refuted about Hebrew:
1) Hebrew has got nothing to do with Spanish. Hebrew is Semitic while Spanish is Romance (a brunch of the Indo-European languages). It is like comparing English with Chinese.
2) The Ladino (a Judeo-Spanish language that was developed and spoken by the Jews of the Mediterranean Sea area) had never been chosen the official language of Israel. It is now spoken by 110,000 people approximately, while Modern Hebrew (the official language of Israel) is spoken by over than 7,000,000.
3) "Ancient Hebrew", "Modern Hebrew", "Sephardic Hebrew", "Ashkenazi Hebrew" etc aren’t different languages, but dialects of the same language. The differences between them are stylistic only, and they are totally understandable for one another.
4) Modern Hebrew is sort of a merging of many dialects of Hebrew and of other Jewish languages such as Ladino (Judeo Spanish), Yiddish (Judeo German), Zarphatic (Judeo French), Yevanic (Judeo Greek) etc… when the basis of it is the Sephardic dialect. The influence of this dialect is significant especially in the accentuation and diction of the words.

Answer 2

Modern Heberw is most closely related to Ancient Heberw and Spanish. Just as Yiddish is a German twist on Hebrew, there was a Spanish twist on Hebrew, called (I think) Ladino. The Ladino was chosen for the official language of Israel. Ancient Hebrew very well could be related to the Ancient Sumerian or Akkadian, though I can't speak definatively on that.

Answer 3

it is possible that hebrew is related to these langueges however i think hebrew is closly related to arabic or aramaic. Ancient hebrew is probably the closest languege to modern hebrew
yiddish=german,hebrew
latino=spanish,hebrew
latino is not the oficial languege in israel. modern hebrew is the oficial languege.
