An ancient Semitic language (6)

I believe the answer is:

hebrew

(Other definitions for hebrew that I've seen before include "Tongue" , "Ancient Semitic language, used in modern version in Israel" , "Middle Eastern language" , "National language of Israel" , "Member of people" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
