Hmmm...possibly. They certainly wouldn't call it _yehudit_
("Judahite"/"Judean"), since that's used in the Bible to refer to Hebrew.
"Italkit" would be a good name, although they would probably spell it
with a _kaf_ instead of a _quf_. I guess they would end up calling
Italian "italit" then, without the /k/.
I really wish Conculture would let me resubscribe so i could figure out
more of this!
