Speakers may simply call the language ''teangatna'' [ˈt̪ʰʲæ̃ŋgʌt{{den}}ˠʰn{{den}}ˠʌ] 'our language'. The Dynjan British are mainly irreligious, though historically they were Muslims who converted to Catholicism. | ||

Besides Irish, Hiberno-Arabic has borrowed from French and Welsh. Some Irish vocabulary in Hiberno-Arabic, called ''Nua-Ȝagmìje'' 'neo-<i>Ȝagmìje</i>', are in fact coinages by speakers of Hiberno-Arabic. It is the only Dynjan Semitic language that evolved naturally under Celtic influence. Due to its conservatism, Hiberno-Arabic is also mutually intelligible with many Dynjan Neo-Arabic languages. | ||
