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?"

In-universe English name?

Essentially a Judeo-Breton~Welsh

Writing

Vowels

/a aj e ej i o oj u uj aw ew iw ow/ אַ אַי ע עי אי אָ אָי אוּ אוּי אַוּ עוּ איוּ אָוּ

Consonants

Default native spelling

Abstract c g ch gh ng ngh כּ ק כ ג נק נכּ

Abstract t d th dh n nh תּ ט ת ד נ נתּ

Abstract p b ph bh m mh פּ בּ פ ב מ מפּ

j r l ll w s š h 2 י ר ל לּ וו ס ש ה א

Mutations

The new consonant is prefixed in front of the mutated word with a hyphen: אַנאַ נתּ-תּוֹרה ana 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
