Canaan, The Language of: Mentioned in
(Isaiah 19:18) denotes the language spoken by the Jews
resident in Palestine. The language of the Canaanites and of the
Hebrews was substantially the same. This is seen from the fragments of
the Phoenician language which still survive, which show the closest
analogy to the Hebrew. Yet the subject of the language of the
"Canaanites" is very obscure. The cuneiform writing of Babylon, as well
as the Babylonian language, was taught in the Canaanitish schools, and
the clay tablets of Babylonian literature were stored in the
Canaanitish libraries. Even the Babylonian divinities were borrowed by
the Canaanites.
