Shemroghian, natively thabbåthănå Šemrăghåkhănå (< PCel sindā tangwāts swemrogākā 'own region's language') is a vernacular in Méich Bhaonnáiqh; it's an IE language belonging to the Celtic family (or possibly a stem-Celtic). 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.
πăraqliτ = advocate, attorney, etc.
askolå, asτråτeghyå, ukhlusin
borrow Mabinogion as Mabhnoghin?
borrow -ium/-ion as -in: opsarion > uπsărin 'culinary fish', -in is also a diminutive which is used a lot
sP sT sq -> asP asT asq (skhole > askola)
change o to a? bodhi > badhi
Phonology
Consonants: same as Aramaic but no pharyngeals and no ts and added emphatic p; emphatic stops written π τ (capital Ʈ) q.
v = bh
Coronal stops/spirants are dental.
Native words only use bgdkpt stops which lenite like in Aramaic; φ > h
Vowels: i e a å o u ă /i e æ A o u ä/
Stress shifts to ultimate stress, and then to the last non-ultimate non-shva syllable
Morphology
Nouns
Nouns have 3 genders (m, f, n), 2 numbers (sg, pl) and 3 cases (nom, gen, prep/dat), and also inflect for definiteness. The dative is used for indirect objects, and sometimes for prepositional objects. When a locative preposition can use both the dative and the accusative, the dative denotes being at the location and the nominative denotes motion towards the location.
turn pl acc to pl nom (happened to Irish definite articles)
The pl gen of nouns declines as an -o/-ā adjective.
The definite article is hid-/hiC- (when not leniting) or hī (when leniting).
