Hebrew vs. Arabic
Someone mentioned the word "Shibboleth" in some thread or other recently. If you check in the book of Judges, you find that 42,000 Ephraimites got the chop because of being unable to pronounce this word in the Hebrew manner, since they spoke another dialect. This is the first recorded instance of counter-intelligence or counter-insurgency.
