Verse:Irta/Judajsr
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 better basis for that than Goidelic).
In-universe English name?
Essentially a Judeo-Breton~Welsh
I don't know enough about Brythonic. -- Inthar
