Well, sort of. What I do is be purposely ignorant of the correct pronunciation of Irish, and pretend they're written in English. Then I correct the spelling mistakes. My intent is that no speaker of Old Irish would recognize them, because East Ralios is not Ireland.
I don't recommend that anyone use any existing language for a game, for the same reason you shouldn't be saying "Heortlings are Vikings."
