-This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
-I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
-II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
-III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.

+The Bhadhagha verbal system is very different from Tíogall, and much closer to [Coetel gib].
+For one thing, Bhadhagha analogized the analytic forms of verbs to all persons, and fused the personal pronoun with the verb:
+<poem>
+moladh ná -> molanna
+moladh fiar -> moltar
+moladh hú -> molú
+moladh hí -> molaí
+moladh gámh -> molamh
+moladh séid -> molaid
+moladh hár -> molair (random change)
+</poem>
+The past tense is marked by a séimhiú on the verb as in Irish, except that the suffixes are the same as in the present tense. This comes from a construction that translates to "it was the case that ...", which also survives in [Coetel gib].
+Bhadhagha is not split-ergative, unlike Tíogall.
