I was thinking that it might be possible to tie in Judajca to some European Romancelangs based on the original homeland of the Imperial colonists sent to settle Judea. But tying it down too much might hamper my free will when it comes to aesthetic choices. So maybe the colonists will just be a random mix of people from all over the empire.
We have the Roman historians' testimony that the colonists sent to Dacia were a random mix of people from all over the empire, so that's likely for Judea too. As for Baazramani it has an entirely different substrate and is spoken miles and miles away from Judea viz. in Persia.
