'''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. In response, the Catholic Church promoted the Irish language and Irish nationalism in Ireland as part of its Counter-Reformation program, which involved associating Catholicism and anti-Albionian sentiment with Irish national identity. The program attempted to purify the Irish language by removing 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
Inuit words subject to Irishy sound changes
*e.g. ''companuaigh'' = to compose music (From Albionian ''componowaṫ'')


==Nouns==
word order is more flexible than in Old Irish
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.
