The Irish-influenced Arabic variety spoken in our Basque Country; written in the Latin alphabet. Its speakers are predominantly Catholic.

"Maltese but with Irish (and secondarily French) instead of Italian" --- the only Irtan Semlang that evolved naturally under Celtic influence (Crannish doesn't really count), and the only Irtan Semitic language written in the Latin script

Phonology

Aquitanian Arabic has an almost complete set of emphatic-nonemphatic pairs:

B b G g D d H h W w Z z T t Γ γ K k X x L l M m N n S s F f P p R š (bold = inherited)

Clusters may not follow bwb sws in native words or with Irish words put into Arabic patterns. Irish broad and slender consonants are borrowed as emphatic and nonemphatic consonants, respectively.

has a similar vowel inventory to Irish, with short /u/ (retained from Classical Arabic) realized as [y] after nonemphatic consonants and with more vowels from lost ayin

a i u á é ý/í ó ú əj əw aj aw ea oa ia ua
