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) in 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.
