'''Hiberno-Arabic''' or '''Albionian''', natively ''el Albanaìje'', is a heavily Hibernized variety of spoken historical Arabic native to and official in the Dynjan island nation of Albion (''el Alba'', in our timeline's Great Britain). Speakers may simply call the language ''teangatna'' [ˈt&#810;ʰʲæ̃ŋgʌt{{den}}ˠʰn{{den}}ˠʌ] 'our language'. The Dynjan British are mainly irreligious, though historically they were Muslims who converted to Catholicism.
Some roots are bitonal:

* ''qw'''b'''kw'''x''''' 'to fly'

Irish loanwords, called ''clèm Ȝagmìje'' (from Arabic ''{{ayin}}aǧamiyyah'' 'foreign' → 'Irish'), comprise over half of Hiberno-Arabic vocabulary. Besides Irish, Hiberno-Arabic has borrowed from French. 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.

The main motivation for Hiberno-Arabic are aesthetic and grammatical similarities between Irish and Arabic, including:

* vowel length
(b-j-v 'to do' is used as the placeholder root)
* has at least /a i u a: i: u:/, and diphthongs /ej~aj/ and /ew~aw/
* lack (Arabic) or rarity (Irish) of /p/ in native vocabulary
* many fricative consonant phonemes, including back fricatives /x {{gh}} h/
* intervocalic /h/ and clusters with /h/
* vowel reduction and syncope in both Maghrebi Arabic and Irish
* weight-sensitive stress in both Munster Irish and Arabic
* suffixes such as /-a:n/, /-i:n/,  /-i:/
* head-initial, VSO word order

The Irish vocabulary in Hiberno-Arabic reflects a fictional Middle Irish dialect which shows features of modern Munster Irish and our timeline's Scottish Gaelic; it was conservative in that broad dh (> Hiberno-Arabic /zʶ/) was kept distinct from broad gh (> Hiberno-Arabic /ʁ/). Broad coronals were strongly velarized, and /a:/ was backed to [ɑ:] after broad consonants, explaining why Irish broad ''s d g'' were heard as /sˁ tˁ⁼ q⁼/ by the Arabic speakers.
Noun phrases acting as constituents rather than as predicates need the determiner ''qw'':
