Majorcan Arabic during or immediately after the period of Irish rule was markedly more grammatically conservative and more Irish-like than modern Majorcan Arabic. Today's Majorcan Arabic shows more English grammatical influence; for example it mainly uses the genitive preposition ''GaWW'' for possessive constructions, whereas older texts prefer a head-marked construction which requires the possessum to be in the construct state or take a possessive suffix. | Majorcan Arabic during or immediately after the period of Irish rule was markedly more grammatically conservative and more Irish-like than modern Majorcan Arabic.
