Old Bźatga (''Bríatéga'') is the form of the language belonging to the earliest written records from the 8th century when Irish monks (OBz. ''papi'' or ''celí dié'') introduced the Latin alphabet to the island. It is characterised by extensive nominal and verbal inflections largely inherited from Common Brittonic and by a small number of words borrowed from Old Irish and Ecclesiastical Latin, largely in the spheres of religion and technology (e.g. ''liérieca'' "cleric" (OI ''cleirech''), ''sagrata'' "priest" (OI ''sagart''), ''annódia'' "mother church" (OI ''andóit'', ''canniela'' "candle" (OI ''caindel''), ''penna'' "pen" (L ''penna''), ''scriuade'' "he writes" (OI ''scríbaid'')). | |||
