Aoife O'Flaherty (An Bhlaoighne and Irish: Aoife Ní Fhlaithbheartaigh An Bhl. /ˈao̞jfe̞ niː ˈfʰlajt̪ʰbʱe̞art̪ajgʱ/, Cualand Irish: /'iːfʲə nʲiː ˈl̪ˠahəɾˠt̪ˠɪɟ/ Ăn Yidiș and Hebrew: חמדה ני פֿל׳אַהארתּיהּ Cualand Ăn Yidiș /ˈχɛmt̪⁼ə nɪ ˈwahəʂʈ⁼ɪh/, Cualand Modern Hebrew /ˈχemda ni ˈlaherti/) is a Crackfic Fishomian conlanger, video game composer and video game developer of Irish-Jewish descent. She is a native speaker of Irish and English, is fluent in Cualand Ăn Yidiș and Hebrew, and can read Mandarin, Albionian, JBA, and Old Irish. She is a trans woman and a Reconstructionist Jew (not believing but moderately observant). She is best known for her game Méich Bhaonnáiqh (placeholder name) and its associated conlang, An Bhlaoighne.

Her favorite language families are Semitic and Albionian, in addition to her native Irish.

See also Verse:Schngellstein, her Canon Tricin counterpart.

Todo

Could Aoife be Irtan? most of the jokes in An Bhl are Irtan and she could have heard about some Trician stuff explaining dá ~ erku 'city'

(Also switch Irtan and Trician Irishes)

(Aoife < *Awiswiyā < *h₂ewis-wih₂, so PCel *Awiswiyā enigenā awyī Wlateis Berxtī, Aoife should use Awiswiyā somewhere)

Biography

Aoife was raised in a secular Jewish family but she became more practicing in her adult life.

Aoife is self-taught in most of her areas of expertise. She has a CS degree from Snawhasewl University.

Conlangs

Aoife draws much of her inspiration from Semitic languages and most of her languages are directly inspired by Hebrew, in phonology, lexicon, grammar, history, or a combination thereof. An exception is Nousanian which has more of an Aramaic and Greek aesthetic.

Her conlangs are often borderline kitchen-sinky and jokey/unnaturalistic (Tsrovesh is a notable exception) but she should still manage to make it work. People joke that Old Irish is an Aoife conlang ("What if an IE language had Hebrew begadkefat (but also other mutations) and VSO word order, and stem allomorphy way more unpredictable than Tiberian Hebrew")

Fictional conworlds

Video games

  • (something with Méich Bhaonnáiqh in it), a science fantasy RPG series

Music

  • Wrote the soundtrack for Méich Bhaonnáiqh
  • small mos/edo person, favorite edo is 11edo
  • melodic, not too dark, but not above bittersweetness
  • likes counterpoint (isn't really a thing in Talman or Tsarfati Jewish music); her melodies show some Tsarfati Jewish influence
