'''Aoife O'Flaherty''' ([[An Bhlaoighne]] and Irish: ''Aoife Ní Fhlaithbheartaigh'' <small>An Bhl. /ˈao&#798;jfe&#798; niː ˈfʰlajt&#810;ʰbʱe&#798;art&#810;ajgʱ/, [[Verse:Irta/Irish|Irtan Irish]]: /'iːfʲə nʲiː ˈl̪ˠahəɾˠt̪ˠiː/</small> [[Ăn Yidiș]] and [[Verse:Irta/Modern Hebrew|Hebrew]]: עדנה ני פ&#1471;ל&#1523;אַהארתּיה&#1468; <small>[[Ăn Yidiș|Irtan Ăn Cayzăn]] /ˈɛðnə nɪ ˈwahərt{{den}}{{asp}}ɪh/, Irta Modern Hebrew: [ˈe{{lowered}}ðn{{eo}} ni ˈlahe{{lowered}}ɹt{{den}}{{asp}}i]</small>) is an [[Verse:Irta|Irtan]] Canadian conlanger, video game composer and video game developer of Irish-Jewish descent. She is a native speaker of Irish and Quelfton English, is fluent in Ăn Yidiș and Irta Modern Hebrew, and can read Albionian, JBA, Classical Arabic, and Old Irish. She is a trans woman and a Reconstructionist Jew (not believing but moderately observant). She is best known for her game [[Verse:Méich Bhaonnáiqh]] (placeholder name) and its associated conlang, [[An Bhlaoighne]].
 
Her favorite language families are Semitic and Albionian, in addition to her native Celtic.
 
She has red hair.
 
See also [[Verse:Schngellstein]], her [[Verse:Tricin|Canon Tricin]] counterpart.
 
== Disclaimer ==
The premise for this character and her languages are mainly [[User:Praimhín|Âthi Trydhen]]'s.  Aoife is also based partly on Edna Ashe, one of [[User:IlL|Inthar]]'s old characters, and Inthar contributed ideas for some languages and is now stepping back (as of February 7, 2022). We do not intend to publish a Méich Bhaonnáiqh game for public consumption.
 
== Todo ==
Could Aoife be Irtan? most of the jokes in An Bhl are Irtan and she could have heard about some Trician stuff explaining dá ~ erku 'city'
 
(since pre-Trician Remonitionism is already very tolerant, Canada should be more than safe enough)
 
(Aoife < *Awiswiyā < *h₂ewis-wih₂, so PCel *Awiswiyā enigenā awyī Wlateis Berxtī, Aoife should use Awiswiyā somewhere)
 
== Biography ==
Aoife was raised in a secular Jewish family but became more practicing in her adult life.
 
Aoife is self-taught in most of her areas of expertise. She has a CS degree from ___ University; for her honors project she wrote a machine learning-based parser for glossing Old and Middle Irish texts. She also found all delta-rational chords in edos below 31.
 
==Conlangs==
Aoife draws much of her inspiration from Semitic languages and most of her languages are directly inspired by Hebrew or Aramaic, in phonology, lexicon, grammar, history, or a combination thereof. Irish (both Old and Modern) is another common inspiration; both Irish and Hebrew have post-vocalic lenition as part of their diachronics. Stress-induced allomorphy, a feature of both Tiberian Hebrew and Old Irish, is a recurring theme in her conlangs.
 
Her conlangs are often borderline kitchen-sinky and jokey/unnaturalistic (Tsrovesh and Shemroghian are notable exceptions) but she should still manage to make it work. People joke that Old Irish is an Aoife conlang ("What if an IE language had Hebrew begadkefat (but also other mutations) and VSO word order, and stem allomorphy way more unpredictable than Tiberian Hebrew")
 
== Video games ==
* (something with Méich Bhaonnáiqh in it), a science fantasy RPG series
 
==Music==
* Wrote the soundtrack for Méich Bhaonnáiqh
* small mos/edo person, favorite edo is 11edo
* melodic, not too dark, but not above bittersweetness
* likes counterpoint (isn't really a thing in Talman or Tsarfati Jewish music); her melodies show influence from Tsarfati Jewish music and from Irish prosody
 
== Poetry ==
Mostly experimental, as kitchen sinky and jokey as her conlangs
* An Old Irish equivalent of Atz Kotzetz
** lots of wordplay and similar-sounding forms, opaque verb forms, "Darmok and Jalad" references to Old Irish literature/history
* same thing for Irtan Modern Internet English (of her particular subculture)
[[Category:Fictional characters]]
* English, Hebrew and Ăn Yidiș dán díreach poems
