The ancient Hebrew Alef-bet, with explanation of the sounds - all of these letter pronunciations are found among Yemenite and Iraqi Jewish communities. Many of the other unique pronunciations are found among many other Middle Eastern / Asian Jewish communities. Since it isn't known with certainty what the exact pronunciation of samakh is... therefore I can't really say with 100% that this is the truly original pronunciation.

@kelevgadol4 so ס is "x" or "ks" צ is "ts" and ש is "s" or "sh"

@jonyadegari that is a very good question and it took me forever to find the answer to this question. The truth is the original pronunciation of ס or samekh is lost in modern hebrew and even in almost all jewish communities. But in ancient hebrew it had to have been pronounced like an english "x" or a "ks" sound. I know this because both the latin alphabet with the pronunciation of it and the greek alphabet come from the hebrew alphabet and the our x and the greek ksi come from samekh or xamech.

This gentleman's version of Hebrew is a hodge-podge of dialects, confused with actual errors of pronunciation. My Iraqi in-laws would have enjoyed this, as would my Moroccan brother-in-law, for its comedic value.

@Handler201 letter Sade sounds exactly like the Russian ''Ц'', it even resembles its shape, while more archaic ''Ш'' turned in ''T'' in many words.

@jonyadegari ш.с.ц.

Hebrew letters seem to have much more in common with Spanish than English.

phe is also like the Greek phi, and Japanese s. It's like blowing out a candle.

Can you make a video telling the difference between צ, ס, ש
Are they different or just s sounds?

@jonyadegari There are two forms of "shin" depending on where the dot over the letter appears. One is "sh" the other is a regular "s" sound. Sadi is a unique "S" sound. It is called an "implosive" or "emphatic" S. There are no living Jewish traditions for a unique pronunciation for the letter samekh, though I have seen in a book indication that there was a distinction. It also makes sense that there would have been. I do not know whether the suggested unique distinction for it is correct.
