Todo: Cantillation tropes

Folk music

Tsarfati Jewish folk songs are known as טאָנאהאן donăthăn in Ăn Yidiș (singular טאָן don; cognate to Irish dán 'poem (among other meanings)'). They may be in Ăn Yidiș or in a macaronic mixture of Ăn Yidiș, Hebrew, and other languages. They have some traditional Hivantish and Irish elements but are unique. Like in our timeline, Hasidic Judaism is also an influence with its emphasis on dancing, devotion, and wordless melodies.

Instruments from Gaelic music:

• pib-ilăn - uilleann pipes
• fethăł (from in-universe OIr **fethal, from Early Romance *vitola) - fiddle
• cłorșăch - a version of the Celtic harp (If you say "Jew's harp" in Irta they'd likely think you mean this.)

Instruments from Hivantish music:

• șeyņăł - kantele

Modern cłorșăchăn are usually electro-acoustic.

Crackfic Irta
