'''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 the so-called "Galician Jews" (''năh Yidi Galți'') in Europe. 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.
 
Its aesthetic is "Scottish Gaelic but more Romanian and [[Windermere]]."

ü from Old Irish ú and other sources
 
High register vocab should be from Celtic or from Hebrew/Aramaic depending on literary period. (cf. our Yiddish)
* Heb/Aramaic words were higher register in older periods because religion
* The secularizing period sees Judeo-Gaelic speakers seeking out older Goidelic and Primitive Irish sources for new words.
* Some later writers criticize the new Gaelic loans as not being authentically Ăn Yidiș and they prefer coinages from newly revived Hebrew, further enriching Ăn Yidiș vocabulary

==Phonology==
*Consonants: b c ch c̦ d f g gh ģ h l ł m n p r ŗ s ș t th ț w j z /b k χ tʃ d f g ɣ dʒ h l w m n p r ʒ s ʃ h ts~tɕ v j z/
**Final ''h'' is silent unless before a vowel. ''th'' is pronounced even when final.
**ŗ is /ʃ/ after voiceless consonants: סקר'יב ''scŗiv'' /skʃiv/ 'to write'.
** Stop + fricative != affricate: a minimal pair is דר'עבאר ''dŗevăr'' 'sister' and ג'עבאר ''ģevăr'' 'winter'
** ''t d n'' are dental and may be slightly velarized. In some dialects ''t'' may be a fricative /θ/.
*''ț z c̦ ġ l ŗ'' arise from Old Irish slender t d c g l r. ''ł'' arises from Old Irish non-slender l.
*Lenitions:
**b /b/ > bh /v/
**d /d/ > dh /ɣ/
**f /f/ > fh /0/
**g /g/ > gh /ɣ/
**c /k/ > ch /χ/
**c̦ /tʃ/ > c̦h /ʃ/
**m /m/ > mh /v/
**p /p/ > ph /f/
**s /s/ > sh /h/
**t /t/ > th /h/
**ț /ts/ > țh /h/
**ġ /dʒ/ > ġh /j/
*Vowels: ''a e i o u aj ej oj ea oa ie ua ă y'' /a e i o u ai ei oi~y eə oə iə uə ə ɨ/, vowel reduction to /ə/ common. /eə oə/ are [ei ou] dialectally.
*Stress is transcribed if not initial
*OIr oí > oj
*short i > y (some other sources pls)
*short o > ă
===Allophonic vowel length===
A form of the Scottish vowel length rule
 
==Orthography==
Ăn Yidiș is written in an adapted Hebrew alphabet.
===Consonants===
Assume no initial lenition. The consonants are spelled as follows in non-Hebrew, non-Aramaic words:
 
א בּ ב גּ ג ג' ד ה הּ ז ט י(י) כ ל ל' מ נ ס פּ ף צ צ' ק ר ר' ש תּ = zero b v g gh d h th z y c l ł m n s p f ț c̦ r ŗ ș t /0 b v g ɣ dʒ h h z j k l w m n s p f ts tʃ r ʒ ʃ t/.
 
ק and ט in Hebrew and Aramaic loans (when not lenited) are /g/ and /d/.
 
Rafe is used for initial lenition: בֿ גֿ גֿ' דֿ זֿ טֿ כֿ מֿ סֿ פֿ ףֿ צֿ צֿ' קֿ תֿ for bh gh jh dh dzh th ch mh sh ph fh țh c̦h ch th /v ɣ j ɣ j h x v h f 0 h ʃ x h/
 
/j/ between two vowels is written יי.
 
''ŗ'' is pronounced /ʃ/ after voiceless fricatives and stops: סקר'יב e.g. ''sgŗiv'' /skʃiv/ 'write! (sg.)'
 
===Vowels===
Vowels are spelled as follows (in non-Hebrew, non-Aramaic words):
 
אַ א ע עא יי י י יא אָ אָע או אוא או יַי יָי = /a ə e eə ei i ɨ iə ɔ oə u uə y ai oi/
 
יִ is used  for /i/ after י /j/.
 
Hebrew words are spelled similarly to (Modern) Hebrew, with the following rules:
*"Gomăț godon" /o/ does not use vav as a mater lectionis.
*A dagesh on bet, gimel, kaf, pe, or tav is always written when present. Note that ת = /s/ in Hebrew and Aramaic loans.
 
The hyphen used looks like this: מא־מֿאַדרא ''mă-mhadră'' 'my dog'.
 
===Other notes===
By folk etymology, many native words which are coincidentally similar to Hebrew words are spelled as if they were derived from Hebrew:
 
*כּלאגּ ''calăg'' (f) 'girl' "←" כּלה ''cală'' (f) 'bride' + ''-ăg'' diminutive suffix
*אףאך ''afach'' 'however' "←" אף ''af'' 'even' + אך ''ach'' 'but'
 
==Grammar==
===Verbs===
Only the verbal noun and the imperative survive:
:{{heb|טאָם אַ ל'אַסעג נרות חנוכּה.}}
:'''''Tom ă łasăgh nearăs hanucă.'''
:/tom ə 'wasəɣ 'neirəs 'hanukə/
:be.PRES 1SG PRES to_light.VN candle-PL Hanukkah
:''I'm lighting Hanukkah candles.'' (or ''I light Hanukkah candles'')
 
:{{heb|נאָהּ סקר'יבו דאָ אות אַר זי שבת!}}
:'''''Noh scŗivu do oas ăr żi șabăs!'''''
:PROH write-IMP.PL two character on_day Shabbat
:''Don't write two letters on Shabbat!''
 
Verbs from Hebrew are usually borrowed in the deverbal noun form.
====Tenses====
The tenses are (pres, past/conditional, fut) x (imperfective, perfective). The auxiliary controls the tense and the preposition controls the aspect:
 
* to ș' ă(g) = present
* to șe ney = past perfective
* vă ș' ă(g) = past imperfective
* vă șe ney = pluperfect
* bei ș' ă(g) = future imperfective
* bei șe ney = future perfective
* rev ș' ă(g)  = jussive impfv. ('may he.../let him...')
* rev șe ney = jussive pfv.
 
*''to șe ag yth'' = he eats; he is eating
**''vyl șe...'' = does he...?
**''chal șe...'' = he does not...
**''nachyl șe...'' = doesn't he...?/that he does not
**''gu vyl șe...'' = COMP he...
**''ă to șe...'' = REL he...
*''to șe nej yth'' = he ate/has eaten
*''bej șe ag yth'' = he will eat
**''bej șe...'' = will he...?
**''cha bhea șe...'' = he will not...
**''nach bhea șe...'' = won't he...?
**''ă vi șe...'' = REL he will...
*''vă șe ag yth'' = he was eating/he would eat
**''răv șe...'' = was he...?/would he?
**''cha răv șe...'' = he was not.../he would not...
**''nach răv șe...'' = was he not...?/would he not...?
*''yth!'' = Eat! (2sg)
*''ythu!'' = Eat! (2pl) (from a dialectal reflex of *ithebh)
*''noh yth(u)!'' = Don't eat!
 
For stative verbs in imperfective tenses, ''y mă-, y dă-, ynă-, etc.'' + VN is used:
*''tom y mă-chadăl'' = I sleep
*''tom y mă-thi'' = I sit
*''tom y mă-șesăv'' = I stand
*''tom y mă-li'' = I lie (somewhere)
*''tom y mă-fhiŗăch'' = I live (I dwell)
 
====Conjugation====
*''to'', ''vyl'', ''chal'', and ''nachyl'' are conjugated as follows:
**''tom, toŗ, to șe/și, toġ, tohi, to șyd''
**''vylim, vyliŗ, vyl șe/și, vyliġ, vylhi, vyl șyd''
**''chalim, chaliŗ...''
**''nachylim, nachyliŗ...''
*''va, rov'':
**''vas, vaș, va șe/și, vimăr, vyur, va șyd''
**''rovăs, rovăș, rov șe/și, roamăr, rovjur, rov șyd''
*''bea'': ''beam, bear, bea șe/și, beaġ, beahi, bea șyd''
 
===Copula===
 
===Nouns===
Like Irish and Hebrew, An Yidiș has masculine and feminine genders. Hebrew words (usually) have the same gender as in Hebrew. There is no grammatical case.
 
Plurals are more regular, marked with mostly ''-ăn'', or less commonly umlaut of ''a o u'' to ''e e i''.
 
Hebrew words often form plurals in unstressed ''-im'' /im/ or ''-ăs'' /əs/ but native Celtic words may use them too and not all Hebrew words use the Hebrew plural.
 
Masculine nouns: Nouns beginning with a vowel take ''ănt'', before a labial ''ăm'', before a trill ''ă'', otherwise ''ăn''
*אנט אישצשע ''ănt yșc̦ă'' = the water
*אם בּיא ''ăm bia'' = the food
*אן ל'אַהּ ''ăn łath'' = the day
*אן צעך ''ăn țech'' = the house
*אן נס ''ăn nes'' = the miracle
*א ר'יעל'טא ''ă ŗełtă'' = the star
 
Feminine nouns: Nouns beginning with a lenitable consonant (except ''s'', ''t'' and ''ț'') lenite and take ''ă'';
*א גּֿעל'אך ''ă ġhełăch'' = the moon
*א מֿען ''ă mhen'' = the woman/wife
*אן אות ''ăn oas'' = the letter (character)
*אנ סוכּה ''ăn sycă'' = the booth
 
Plural nouns take ''năh-'' /nə(h)/ (the ''h'' is only pronounced before a vowel)
*נאה טיש ''năh tyș'' = the houses
*נאה ל'אַהאן ''năh łathăn'' = the days
*נאה מנאָ ''năh mno'' = the women/wives
*נאה אותיות ''năh usjăs'' = the letters
*נאה סוכּות ''năh sycăs'' = the booths
*נאה ניסים ''năh nisim'' = the miracles
 
Nouns may take a preposed vocative particle ''ă'' which lenites.
 
===Adjectives===
Adjectives always have ''-ă'' in the plural, except that the plural of ''-ăch'' is ''-i'': the plural of ייִדעך ''Yidăch'' 'Jew(ish)' is ייִדי ''Yidi''.
 
*pred: טאָם בּעגּ ''Tom beg.'' = I am short.
*m.sg.: ףער בּעגּ ''fer beg'' = a short man; אם ףער בּעג ''ǎm fer beg'' = the short man
*f.sg.: דר'עבאר בֿעגּ ''dŗevăr bheg'' = a short sister; אן דר'עבאר בֿעגּ ''ǎn dŗevăr bheg'' = the short sister
*pl.: ףערן אָרדא ''ferăn ordă'' = tall men; נאה ףערן אָרדא ''nǎh ferăn ordă'' = the tall men
 
Comparatives are formed by adding ניס ''nis'' 'more' and עס ''es'' 'most' before the adjective The only adjective with a separate comparative form is מאָאר ''moar'', with comparative and superlative using מאָא ''moa''.
 
מאָאר - ניס מאָא - עס מאָא ''moar - nis moa - es moa'' = big - bigger - biggest
 
===Pronouns===
conj. pronouns: מע טו שע שי שין שיב שיד me tu șe și șîn șîv șîd
 
disj. pronouns: מע טו ע אי שין שיב איד me tu e i șîn șîv îd

emphatic suffixes: -șă -să -șăn -șă -yă -șă -săn
 
Possessive prefixes:

*דאָ־בּֿראָהער ''dă-bhrohăŗ'' /də vrohəɹ/ 'thy brother'; ד־אַהער ''d-ahăŗ'' /dahəɹ/ 'thy father'
*אַ־בּֿראָהער ''a-bhrohăŗ'' /ə vrohəɹ/ 'his brother'; אַ־אַהער ''a-ahăŗ'' /a ahəɹ/ 'his father'

*אַ־בּראָהער ''a-brohăŗ'' /ə brohəɹ/ 'their brother'; אַן־אַהער ''an-ahăŗ'' /ən ahəɹ/ 'their father'
 
''m-'' and ''d-'' are used before a vowel, a /j/ or when a lenited ''f'' results in an initial vowel or /j/: ףיאל ''fyol'' /fjol/ 'meat'; מ־ףֿיאל ''m-fhyol''  /mjol/ 'my meat'.
 
A possessive prefix must be used before every noun: 'my mother and my father' is מאָ־מֿאָהער איס מ־אַהער ''mă-mhohăŗ îs m-ahăŗ'', not ''*mă-mohăŗ îs ahăŗ''.
 
Younger Judeo-Gaelic speakers, influenced by Revived Hebrew, prefer the ''ăn brohăŗ agom'' construction for most nouns except family members.

==Syntax==
An Yidiș syntax is similar to Irish or Scottish Gaelic syntax but somewhat simplified:
 
:'''''To Yidi înă-firăch î sach țirăn.'''''
:''Jews live in many countries.''
 
In transitive sentences, the direct object immediately follows the verbal noun:
:'''''To năh Yidi ag fołîm ăn Tură coch łath.'''''
:''Jews study the Torah every day.''
===Noun phrase===
Ăn Yidiș lost the genitive case except in fossilized expressions. Possession is indicated by the construction ''ăn X ag Y'' (lit. the X at Y) when Y is a noun. For example, אַן קאַט אַגּ מאָ־מֿאַק ''ăn cat ag mă-mhac'' = my son's cat. Concatenation exists but is more derivational, analogous to compounding in English.
 
===Predicate nouns===
*"PRON is a NOUN": איש מען מע ''Yș men me'' = I'm a woman
*"X is a NOUN": איש מען אי רבקה ''Yș men i Ryvcă'' = Ryvcă (Rebekah) is a woman
*"1p/2p is the NOUN": איש מישע אַ מֿען אַגּ משה ''Yș mișă ă mhen ag Mușă'' = I am Mușă's (Moses') wife
*"3p is the NOUN": שי אַ מֿען אגּ משה אי ''ș i ă mhen ag Mușă i'' = She is Mușă's wife
**שי אַ מֿען אַג משה אי רבקה ''Și ă mhen ag Mușă i Ryvcă'' (or ''și Ryvcă i ă mhen ag Mușă'') = Ryvcă is Mușă's wife
*For topics or focused predicatives: איש מונצאָרית אַ טאָ אי רבקה ''Yș munțăŗis ă to i Ryvcă'' 'Ryvcă is a (female) teacher (not some other job)'
*Pred. adjectives or adjuncts use the verb בּי ''bi'':
**טאָ רבקה אָרד ''To Ryvcă ord'' 'Ryvcă is tall'
**טאָ רבקה אינס אַן חדר קאַדעל ''To Ryvcă yns ăn chedăr cadăl'' 'Rivcă is in the bedroom'
 
===Infinitive phrases===
Infinitive phrases usually correspond to German ''zu''-infinitives, and are also used with some modals.
They're of the form ''a'' + VN + direct object + oblique objects, where ''de'' lenites the VN.
 
If there is a pronominal direct, ''a'' + possessive pronoun (for the pronominal object) + VN must be used, with contractions and mutations occurring as necessary.
 
Examples:
*''ă thavărț matonă'' (NB: does not follow Irish!) = to give a gift (''ein Geschenk zu geben'')
*''o-thavărț dom'' = to give it (masc.) to me
*''o-tavărț dom'' = to give it (fem.)/them to me

<poem>
I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground.
So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind:
Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely.  Crowned
With lilies and with laurel they go; but I am not resigned.
