The Soviet authorities considered Hebrew a "reactionary language" since it was associated with both Judaism and Zionism, and it was officially banned by the Narkompros (Commissariat of Education) as early as 1919.
Hebrew is a Semitic language of the Afro-Asiatic language family spoken by more than 6 million people, mainly in Israel, the West Bank, the United States and by Jewish communities around the world.
Hebrew was also used as a language of communication among Jews from different countries, particularly for the purpose of international trade.

 history_of_hebrew by David Steinberg
The mass of the early speakers of Israeli Hebrew were from Europe and were unable to pronounce the gutturals (&;) aside from ה and the emphatics (טצק).

 Hebrew languages - definition of Hebrew languages in Encyclopedia
Abrahamic religion believes that there were (at least) four Hebrew nations in Canaan: Ammon, Moab, Edom and Israel, all believed to be direct descendants of the Hebrew patriarch Terah, whose son Abram and grandson Lot (Abram's nephew) settled in Canaan and adapted to the local language of the Canaanites.
The Hebrew languages refer to a variety of Canaanite languages and dialects historically spoken by various peoples in the region of Canaan whom Abrahamic religion believes to have been Hebrews who emigrated from the Chaldees.
Of the varieties of Hebrew, only one — Modern Hebrew — survives as a spoken language today, and is one of the official languages of the State of Israel.
