'''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) major'' '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 almost always also speak English; Modern Standard Latin and Irish are also widely understood in Majorca. Majorcans are predominantly Catholic; some are Remonitionists or Muslims. | '''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) major'' 'bigger island'), an independent country where it's an official language alongside English.

Its premise is "Maltese but with Middle Irish and Classical Irish (and secondarily French and [[Hyperfrench|Nyvierfusiez]]) instead of Italian". It's the only Irtan Semitic language that evolved naturally under Celtic influence ([[Knench]] is more Azalic-influenced, and Irta Modern Hebrew was revived by Celtic speakers), and the only Irtan Semitic language written in a Latin orthography. | Its premise is essentially "Maltese but with Middle Irish and Classical Irish (and secondarily French and [[Hyperfrench|Nyvierfusiez]]) instead of Italian".
