Nechomah: Modern Hebrew is still very, very close to Lashon Hakodesh. Besides, it’s seemingly a Machlokes (Abudraham and P’nei Yehosua against the Nodah Bihudah) as to whether the natural development of the Hebrew language stays Lashon Hakodesh or whether only Biblical Hebrew was Lashon Hakodesh, even in the times of the Gemara.
