With the rise of [[Zionism]] in the 19th century, it was revived as a spoken and literary language, becoming primarily a spoken [[lingua franca]] among the early Jewish immigrants to [[Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem|Ottoman Palestine]] and received the official status in the 1922 constitution of the [[Mandate for Palestine|British Mandate for Palestine]] and subsequently of the [[State of Israel]].<ref>{{cite book |surname=Bar-Adon |given=Aaron |title=The Rise and Decline of a Dialect: A Study in the Revival of Modern Hebrew |year=1975 |publisher=Mouton |url={{Google books|mC80vwEACAAJ|page=|keywords=|text=|plainurl=yes}} |isbn=9783111803661}}</ref>
