In [[Verse:Irta|the Irta timeline]], '''Ăn Yidiș''' (natively אן ייִדיש ''ăn Yidiș'' /ən 'jɪtɪʃ/ [ən 'jɪdɪʃ] or אן אידיש  ''ăn Idiș'', historically א קֿאָלק׳ תּאק נא יידיהּ ''ă Gholģ (tăg nă Yidith)'' /ə 'ɣoltʃ (thək nə jitih)/ '(Judeo-)Gaelic'; in-universe Hebrew: יידיש ''yidiš''; in-universe Standard Irish: ''an Iodais'') is a Goidelic language which is the main vernacular of most major Jewish communities in Europe, Britain, Canada, and the US, in-universe called "Tsarfati (= our France) Jews" (''nă Țărfósith''). With over 13 million speakers, ~70% of whom live in North America, it is the most spoken Celtic language in Irta. Ăn Yidiș is a possible answer to "What if Yiddish were Goidelic?" and is called "Yiddish" in in-universe English.

Among Ăn Yidiș speakers, Hebrew and English are common second languages (religious Jews learn Hebrew).

Traditional scholarly consensus holds that Ăn Yidiș evolved from a 10th century [[Ăn Yidiș/Proto-Ăn Yidiș|Middle Irish dialect that was spoken in Western France]]. However, according to some, there was no single Proto-Ăn Yidiș; Jewish speakers of Middle Irish originally spoke two separate Irish dialects, whose descendants are Italian Ăn Yidiș and Eastern European Ăn Yidiș, respectively. Standard Ăn Yidiș is effectively a koine of the two Proto-Ăn Yidiș dialects. On top of the inherited Gaelic vocabulary, Ăn Yidiș mainly borrows words from Hebrew and Talmudic Aramaic, but also from [[Azalic]], [[Galoyseg]], and [[Hivantish]].
