Verse talk:

Izeweg (אַן תּאָבעץ אידעוועק [an 'tovets i'zeweg] 'the Jewish language') is the traditional Northern European Jewish ("Tsarfati") vernacular in Irta. It's (essentially) a Brythonic Celtic language and a descendant of Old Galoyseg. It's a possible answer to the question "What would a Jewish Celtic language look like?" (and I now believe Brythonic is a less uncanny-valley basis for that than Goidelic).

In-universe English name?

Essentially a Judeo-Breton~Welsh

Mutations

The new consonant is prefixed in front of the mutated word with a hyphen: אינאַ נתּ-תּוֹרה ina nhToyro 'in the Torah'.

Hebrew reading

Izeweg has no vowel reduction in Hebrew and Aramaic loans, unlike Yiddish. Stress is just shifted to penultimate (as in native Izeweg).

/2 b v g γ d δ h w z H T j k x l m n s 3 p f S q r š t θ/ = [(none)~2 p= v g x t= δ~z h w δ~z h t= j kh x l m n s (none)~2 ph f ts= k= r š th s]

TibH /i e E a O o u ŠN HP HS HQ/ = [i ej~aj e a o oj u a a e o]

L dagesh > Welsh ll. Some pronounce sin as ll.

Mutations

Same as in Welsh but

  • g post vocalically mutates to c'h
  • no m > v
  • ll but no rh
  • t spirant mutates to s

Grammar

Indef article אין, def article אַן
