Right. But I'm missing something that's so basic that anybody with
any background in Hebrew would already know it. Wasn't Classical
Hebrew already (and more or less forever) widely recited and read
aloud? Wouldn't that have provided some competing pronunciations for
the modern language at the latter's inception? Is that the
Ashkenazi/Sephardi distinction you've mentioned, presumably with large
variations within each of those communities?
