Answer:

The answer is indeed Hebrew.

Step-by-step explanation:

Muslim, Jewish, and Christian worships all use the word amen to express confirmation, ratification of what was said. It is the closing statement of prayers. Amen comes from the Hebrew āmēn, meaning "truly", "verily", "so be it", "certainty". The literal meaning of the word is "the truth has been spoken." Amen is found in both the Old and the New Testament of the Bible.
