'''Irish in the [[Albionian]] timeline''' has absorbed significant Slavic (e.g. [[Albionian]]) influence, and Slavic elements even penetrated grammar and grammatical morphemes.
Gaelic + Inuit + Hivantish + English
==History==
The Protestant Reformation culminated in the establishment of a form of Protestantism as the state religion of Albion, and Albionian became associated with Protestantism. Thus the Catholic Church promoted the Irish language in Ireland as part of its Counter-Reformation program, which involed constructing Irish national identity as being Catholic and anti-Albionian. The program included linguistic purism, i.e. attempting to remove Slavic words and morphology and incorporate Old Irish elements. However, the purism was not entirely successful, as Slavic had already penetrated deep into the function words and grammatical morphology.


==Todo==
Greekify Irish slender consonants
''beidbhéid'' (m) = bear (from Slavic, plus ''mh/bh'' confusion)
Default verbing suffix is ''-uaigh'' (''-uaim, -uair, -uann sé, -uaimid, -uaithid, -uann siad'', verbnoun ''-ú'' or colloquially ''-uainí''), from Slavic ''-ovati'' verbs
*e.g. ''companuaigh'' = to compose music (From Albionian ''componowaṫ'')


==Nouns==
Inuit words subject to Irishy sound changes
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.
word order is more flexible than in Old Irish

Preserves Old Irish /θ ð/

"What if Old Irish became a Balkan sprachbund language, losing infinitives etc."

Morphology

Nouns

Preserves a lot of case inflection in suffixed indefinite articles, via a suffixed áirithe "certain"

Possessive suffices from OIr emphatic clitics? "his" is (lenition)--san

  • nom sg. ech áirithe > echar 'a horse'
  • gen sg. eich áirithi > eichri
  • prep sg. euch áirithiu > echru
  • acc sg. euch n-áirithe > echna
  • nom pl eich áirithi > eichri
  • gen pl ech n-áirithe > echna
  • prep pl echaibh
  • acc pl echu h-áirithi > echuhar
