| ==Phonology==
| | Note: As a Gentile Korean speaker I believe I'm ''somewhat'' more qualified to sketch this than to sketch a hypothetical Judeo-Celtic language. I'll just sketch the sound changes here, without venturing into creating the Jewish-specific vocabulary. |

| ===Grammar===
| |
| the grammar should be modelled after colloquial welsh
| |
| | |
| :{{heb|תּאָ מע אַ-ל'אַסאַג נרות חנוכּה.}}
| |
| :'''''To me a-łasagh neroth hanuca.'''
| |
| :/to me ə 'wasəɣ 'nerəh 'hanukə/
| |
| :''I'm lighting Hanukkah candles.'' (or ''I light Hanukkah candles'')
| |
| ====Nouns====
| |
| Nouns have no grammatical case.
| |
| | |
| Plurals are more regular, marked with mostly ''-n''/''-an'' or ''-i''.
| |
| | |
| Nouns in ''-a'' are usually pluralized with ''-i'': ''madra'' 'a dog', ''madri'' 'dogs'.
| |
| | |
| Hebrew words often use unstressed ''-im'' /im/ or ''-oth'' /əh/ but native Celtic words may use them too.
| |
| | |
| Masculine nouns: Nouns beginning with a vowel take ''ant'', otherwise ''an-''
| |
| | |
| Feminine nouns: Nouns beginning with a lenitable consonant (including /t/) lenite, ''s'' becomes ''an t-s''
| |
| | |
| Plural nouns: ''na'', ''nah'' before a vowel
| |
| | |
