The Hebrew alphabet is used for Hebrew (Biblical and modern), Aramaic (Talmud and other sources), Yiddish, Ladino, and a number of other Jewish languages. Here is the Israeli Hebrew keyboard from Debian Linux. |

Biblical Hebrew uses a variety of vowel signs and other marks. Yiddish requires a number of extra letters, including the following. |

Some Free TrueType and OpenType [[fonts]] provided with Linux distributions include Basic Hebrew (Letters, vowel points, Yiddish tsvey-vovn, vov-yod, tsvey-yodn). Some specialist fonts support Biblical Hebrew. Support for other Jewish languages is spotty. Rendering of pointed Hebrew and Yiddish is erratic in current software. Some non-Free fonts such as Code2000 and Everson Mono Unicode also support Basic Hebrew. |
