      • Benjamin D. Suchard (born 1988) is a historical linguist specializing in the Semitic and Afroasiatic language families. His research focuses on phonological and morphological reconstruction, including the history of the reading traditions of the Hebrew Bible. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at KU Leuven. He is known for applying the Neogrammarian hypothesis—focusing on regular and phonetically conditioned sound changes—to Semitic linguistics, which has historically under-emphasized this method.


      Suchard's Law


      In his first book The Development of the Biblical Hebrew Vowels, Suchard resolved the longstanding irregularity of the Canaanite Shift, whereby */ā/ shifted to /ō/ except in vicinity of /u/ or /w/. This led to the discovery of an early Hebrew sound change */u/ > /i/ next to labial consonants. This sound change subsequently became known as Suchard's Law, joining a number of other sound changes named after their discoverers including Philippi's Law and Geers's Law.


      Public engagement


      Suchard made a name for himself with his public engagement, unusual in historical linguistics. He uses his X (formerly Twitter) and Bluesky accounts to engage with the public about Ancient Near Eastern languages. He has been involved as a language consultant in the production of major Hollywood films.
