It is recognized that Biblical Hebrew was one of
several similar languages spoken in the ANE, some
of which were so close that apparently speakers of
one language could understand what speakers of a
different language said, albeit not perfectly. A
good example being Hebrew and Moabite. Others were
not so close, e.g. Hebrew and Aramaic where
speakers of one did not understand the other
language.
