| '''Izeweg''' (אידעוועק [i'zeweg]) 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?" (and I now believe Brythonic is a less uncanny-valley basis for that than Goidelic).
