Judeo-Gaelic: Difference between revisions

'''Ăn Yidiș''' or '''Judeo-Gaelic''' (natively: אן ייִדיש ''ăn Yidiș'' /ən 'jidiʃ/, א גֿאָלג' נאה יידי ''ă Gholģ nă Yidi'' /ɣoldʒ nə 'jidi/ or מאם-לשון ''mam-loșăn''; in in-universe Hebrew גלית ''gelis'' or יידיש ''yidiš'') is the sole surviving (Hyper-)Goidelic language in [[Verse:Apple PIE]]. It is a possible answer to "What if Yiddish were Goidelic?" and is called "Yiddish" in in-universe English. With over 13 million speakers, it is the main vernacular of European Jews, in-universe called "Galician Jews" (''năh Yidi Galți'') or "Ashkenazi Jews". On top of the inherited Gaelic vocabulary, it mainly borrows words from Hebrew and Talmudic Aramaic, but also from Greek, Persian, Brythonic, and [[Galoyseg]]. It is the Jewish language with the largest number of speakers in Apple PIE, the second being (revived) Hebrew. Hebrew (read with the Gaelic Hebrew pronunciation) and English are common second languages among Judeo-Gaelic speakers, Hebrew is used as a literary language and a lingua franca for communicating with other Jews.
