'''Aoid''' (''~~aoidlíumh~~'' [[Help:IPA|[~~ˈiːdʲlʲĩw̃~~]]]) is an [[w:Esperantido|Esperanto-derived]] language influenced by the phonology of [[w:Irish language|Irish Gaelic]]. It is spoken primarily by members of the Céas na hAoidean; because of this, speakers of Aoid and members of the Céas are both (confusingly) called '''''aoidean''''', (Aoid pronunciation: [[Help:IPA|[ˈiːdʲən]]]) singular of ''aoid'' "child".

'''Aoid''' (''aoidleam'' [[Help:IPA|[ˈiːdʲlʲəm]]]) is an [[w:Esperantido|Esperanto-derived]] language influenced by the phonology of [[w:Irish language|Irish Gaelic]]. It is spoken primarily by members of the Céas na hAoidean; because of this, speakers of Aoid and members of the Céas are both (confusingly) called '''''aoidean''''', (Aoid pronunciation: [[Help:IPA|[ˈiːdʲən]]]) singular of ''aoid'' "child".

Aoid is the liturgical language of the Céas na hAoidean new religious movement, founded by Fí Deám in 65-Knees. The extent of the use of Aoid before the founding of the Céas is unclear; the general consensus is that the language developed from various groups of Esperantists, retroactively called the ''~~Fáirlean~~'', who settled on the bank of the [[w:Sanzu River|Sanzu River]]; after drinking the water of the Sanzu, they contracted [[w:Amnesia|viral amnesia]] which ~~also~~ garbled their speech, leading them to develop their unique Esperanto-derived language.

==Phonology==

===Consonants===

Aoid has 19 consonant phonemes (''sonáintean''). These consonants are split into two categories; the "strong" (''díoch'') consonants and "lean" (''sbhaelte'') or [[w:Palatalization|palatalised]] consonants (cf. Irish [[w:Irish phonology#Consonants|broad and slender]] consonants).

/z/ only appears phonemically in a couple words, such as '''''Z'''ámóftach'' "[[w:Zamenhof Day|Zamenhof Day]]", as well as as an [[#Elition|elition]] of /d/; as an elition of /d/, it can sometimes be pronounced as [[w:Voiced dental fricative|voiced dental fricative]] /ð/, especially among older and/or secular speakers. /ŋʲ/ appears as a nasal assimilative allophone before lean dorsal stops, i.e. /kʲ, gʲ~dʒ/, though the status of this allophone is controversial as some have described the phone as closer to a palatal nasal /ɲ/.

Line 58:

The pronunciation of /ʋ vʲ/ is variable. In common speech, /ʋ/ can be pronounced as [[w:Labial-velar consonant|labial-velar]] /w/, especially around rounded vowels.{{efn|cf. ''nia'''ubh''''' [ˈɲiəw] "boys"}}

===Vowels===

Aoid has seven pure vowel phonemes, called the ''fídealat'' (lit. "faithfuls, laypeople"), shown below in the table. Five of the ''fídealat'', /a ɛ i ɔ u/, can also be lengthened, and are also nasalised before nasal consonants; these five are called the ''~~fáistean~~''. (lit. "priests") The other non-''~~fáistean~~'' vowels, /ə/ and /ɪ/, are unstressed allophones of /a ɛ ɔ u/ and /i/ respectively.

Stressed /u/, especially word-initally, is often pronounced more centrally as [ʊ], such as in '''''ui'''nd'' [ˈʊɲdʲ] "dog".

==Grammar==

===Nouns===

Aoid nouns are divided into three classes: class 1, class 2 and class 3.

Class 1 nouns are nouns that use [[w:Ablaut|ablaut]] to pluralise, e.g.:

* {{l|aoid|tach}} "day" > ''t'''ai'''g'' "days"

* {{l|aoid|niabh}} "boy" > ''ni'''au'''bh'' "boys"

* {{l|aoid|dán}} "Dane, idiot" > ''d'''ái'''n'' "Danes"

Class 2 nouns use the suffix {{l|aoid|-ean}} or {{l|aoid|-an}} to pluralise, with regular augmentative infixes ''-(e)(a)c-'' and diminutive ''-(e)t-''.

* {{l|aoid|bhir}} "man" > ''bhir'''ean''''' "men", ''bhir'''t''''' "guy, bro", ''bhir'''c''''' "old man"

* {{l|aoid|aoid}} "child" > ''aoid'''ean''''' "children", ''aoid'''et''''' "sissy, coward", ''aoid'''eac''''' "older child between 7-12 years of age"

* {{l|aoid|uind}} "dog" > ''uind'''ean''''' "dogs", ''uind'''et''''' "puppy", ''uind'''eac''''' "hound"
