Šemroghe-thabbåthå (< PCel swe-mrogi-tangwāts 'own region's language') is a vernacular in Méich Bhaonnáiqh belonging to the Celtic family. It's inspired by Aramaic and also has Greek and Latin loans that look like Greco-Latin loans in Mishnaic Hebrew and Aramaic. It's the native language of the player character Ăvišyå (from *Awiswiyā, Aoife's Proto-Celtic interpretation of her own name). It's a fairly typical IE language.

praqliτ = advocate, attorney, etc.
