That's funny, because many people (myself included) would rather try to make it
as exotic as possible; for example by removing the /q/ from /qu/.
Anyway, Wenedyk doesn't have /q/ at all:

Well, couldn't it be that the Jews in Judea lived under the same kind of
oppression as the Jews in Spain?
One could even imagine a scenario that their situation was actually so bad,
that they decided to take the same boat as well and settled in Mueva Sefarad as
well. It would just mean that the country became bilingual, but *here* the Jews
are used to that as well, I think.

May I assume that there is no Birobidzhan in Ill Bethisad?
