Why is the Hebrew name Isaias pronounced with Spanish vowels?

[SeekerOfTruth007]

It really sounds dumb to totally mispronounce a name using the wrong languages' vowels.

The correct pronunciation is the same as "Isaiah" except it ends with an S. It's not that hard of a word.

I dont speak hebrew but maybe the anglisised version is not right either and the spainish pronunciation closer to the Hebrew pronunciation being based on Latin rather than germanic languages and the presence of jews in spain since before the time of christ and after.

[GothEgg]

The original Hebrew pronunciation of Isaiah is Yeshayahu (pronounced yeh-shah-YAH-hoo) or shortened to Yeshaya (yeh-shah-YAH).

what's really dumb... not to understand the difference between actual Hebrew, Latin, Greek

and then make it about English vs Spanish...

[SeekerOfTruth007]

I'm familiar with actual hebrew. they don't write most vowels in Hebrew but in the BIBLE the spellings "Isaiah" and "Isaias" are used interchangeably for the name of the same Bible Author.

Try reading it. You might learn something. I know a couple thousand Greek and Latin words too.

[NathanDavis]

nothing you said has to do with Spanish... though

but you would knew about that, if you actually understood the origins of languages, or the bible itself...

The original Hebrew pronunciation of Isaiah is Yeshayahu (pronounced yeh-shah-YAH-hoo) or shortened to Yeshaya (yeh-shah-YAH).

@GothEgg correct...

and Isais is Latin... which is usually pronounced in two different forms (classic and not classic)

which is where the Spanish version comes from.. as Isaías, not Isaias... which in turn, might be very similar to one of the Latin forms, but not the same
