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.

Perhaps. Both types of Catholic services are offered
in the vernacular in Kemr, and have been since the 60s
or so.
