I don't about the others. A Brithenig Bible first appeared in 1588. Presumably, Scots and English Bibles first appeared around then as well. (Kerno wasn't a literate language at the time, so there's good reason why a K Bible won't show up for a few centuries yet.)

Well, Latin is a traditional component of Kemrese education. I suppose it might at least hold a position like Sanskrit as far as religious use is concerned.
