Judeo-Galoyseg is the vernacular of Bjeheondian Jews in Crackfic Tricin. It's identical to canon Galoyseg except with Hebrew and Bjeheondian loans, but its historical evolution is different. It descends from a dialect of Celtic which was actually spoken in Galatia and thus took part in the sprachbund ā > å change that Palestinian Aramaic (and Tiberian Hebrew) did. Pre-Galatian is believed to be the epicenter of the ME sound change. This happened again (to native vocab but not TibH vocab which was corrected to an approximation of TibH) after the speakers moved to Bjeheond, requiring a spelling reform which often seemingly treats PCel as PSem: Proto-Celtic *t that became /θ/ or postvocalic /d/ in pre-Galoyseg becomes tav rafe (which might have represented /tsh/), Proto-Celtic *ā becomes cholam, and Proto-Celtic *a that became Old Galoyseg *ā becomes qamatz. Hebrew loans are always written fully vocalized.
