In [[Verse:Irta|Irta]], '''Ăn Yidiș''' (natively אן ייִדיש ''ăn Yidiș'' /ən 'jɪt̪ɪʃ/ [ən 'jɪd̪ɪʃ] or אן אידיש  ''ăn Idiș'', historically א קֿאָליזש תּאק נא יידיהּ ''ă Gholiģ (tăg nă Yidith)'' /ə 'ʁoltʃ (t̪ʰək nə jit̪ih)/ '(Judeo-)Gaelic'; in-universe Hebrew: יידיש ''yidiš''; in-universe Standard Irish: ''ın Idasz'') is a Goidelic language which is the historical vernacular of the so-called Tsarfati (= our France) Jews (נא צרפֿתיהּ ''nă Țărfósith''). Today it is the main vernacular of major (mainly Hasidic) Jewish communities in Europe, Britain, Canada, and the US. With over 13 million speakers, ~70% of whom live in North America, it is the second most spoken Celtic language after Irish and the most spoken Jewish 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, English and Irish are common second languages (religious Jews learn Hebrew).
Among Ăn Yidiș speakers, Hebrew, English and Irish are common second languages (religious Jews learn Hebrew for worship and prayer and Aramaic for study of rabbinic texts).


Traditional scholarly consensus holds that Ăn Yidiș evolved from a 10th century [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}/Proto-Ăn Yidiș|Middle Irish dialect that was spoken in Western France]], at the borders of the then-Irish empire where enforcement of Catholic religious persecution was laxer. A minority view holds that there was no single Proto-Ăn Yidiș; Jewish speakers of Middle Irish originally spoke two separate Irish dialects, whose descendants are German Ăn Yidiș and Eastern European Ăn Yidiș, respectively. Standard Ăn Yidiș is effectively a koine of the two Proto-Ăn Yidiș dialects.
