Irish reading tradition for an Indic language

-h's interpreted as lenition

retroflexes are ignored but Th and Dh become dental fricatives

should be for a middle Prakrit (a liturgical form of Sauraseni)

Ecclesiastical Latin ti -> tsi gone wild: in this dialect it becomes si
- Reflexive pronouns disappear (since tibi and sibi merge)
ē, ō -> ie, uo (the opposite of Romance languages)
- could create interesting false friends with Romance languages like "bacon"/"beer can"

Idea: "What if Sanskrit had a reading tradition from Medieval England"

"Cerebrals" merge with dentals as in southeast Asian languages
Word-final nasal -ṃ merges with -m as in the traditional reading of Latin
Miraculously final -aḥ and -o merge into /-oʊ/, the former is an independent development from Prakrit languages -- it comes from the usual assimilation of "silent gh"
