Irish in the Albionian timeline has absorbed significant Albionian influence, and Slavic elements even penetrated grammar and grammatical morphemes.

Todo

meidbhéid (m) = bear

Default verbing suffix is -uaigh (-uaim, -uair, -uann sé, -uaimid, -uaithid, -uann siad, verbnoun or colloquially -uainí), from Slavic -ovati verbs

  • e.g. companuaigh = to compose music (From Albionian componowaṫ)

Nouns

The neuter gender and dative plural -aibh is preserved but there are fewer declension classes. The nominative plural of masculines and feminines is uniformly -(a)i /ɪ/ (by Slavic influence) and plural of neuters is usually -a.

The indefinite article is den (from den 'from the' + Slavic *edìn 'one'); it or lack thereof is part of the case/number/gender declension.
