'''Majorcan Arabic''' ("Majorcan" in-universe) is an Irish-influenced historical Arabic variety spoken in the [[Verse:Irta|Irta]] timeline's Majorca (natively ''el-Mijòr'', from Latin ''(insula) majoris'' 'bigger island'), an independent country where it's an official language alongside English. The native name for the language is ''el-Mijòrije'' or ''et-teanga Mijòrìje'', but speakers may simply call the language ''teangatna'' [ˈt̪ʰæ̃ːʔʶʌtʶʰnʶʌ] 'our language'. Its speakers are predominantly Catholic and almost always also speak English. Modern Standard Latin and Irish are also widely understood in Majorca. | '''Majorcan Arabic''' ("Majorcan" in-universe) is an Irish-influenced historical Arabic variety spoken in the [[Verse:Irta|Irta]] timeline's Majorca (natively ''el-Mijòr'' [ə{{adv}}lmɪ{{adv}}ˈjo{{adv}}ːɾ{{lam}}ʲ], from Latin ''(insula) majoris'' 'bigger island'), an independent country where it's an official language alongside English.
