'''Šemroghe-thabbåthå''' (< PCel swe-mrogi-tangwāts 'own region's language') is a vernacular in Méich Bhaonnáiqh belonging to the Celtic family. It's inspired by Aramaic and also has Greek and Latin loans that look like Greco-Latin loans in Mishnaic Hebrew and Aramaic. It's the native language of the player character Ăvišyå (from *Awiswiyā, Aoife's Proto-Celtic interpretation of her own name). It's a fairly typical IE language.

== Morphology ==
=== Nouns ===
Nouns have 2 genders (m, f), 2 numbers (sg, pl) and 5 cases (nom, gen, prep/dat, acc, voc). The dative is used for indirect objects, and sometimes for prepositional objects. When a preposition can use both the dative and the accusative, the dative denotes being at the location and the accusative denotes motion towards the location.
