About Red Canaanite Red Canaanite is a dialect of Canaanite, going down the Hebrew path, descended from a population bottleneck that shipwrecked itself onto the back of a wandering island. It has undergone fortition and retains some of the consonants lost in Hebrew. It really is a dialect but it's going to diverge from Hebrew eventually.
