Verse:Irta/Irish

an Ghaeilge; an Ghaeidhilaing in Cualand

Spoken in unified Ireland, parts of Canada and parts of Central and South America by 50 million people (Irta Canada's official languages are English and Irish)

Essentially the same as our timeline's Munster and Connemara Irish but with fewer English loans; Northern Ireland speaks Connemara and Southern Ireland speaks Munster

Irtan Standard Irish = Connacht Irish
Trician Irish = conservative/quasi-Classical Munster Irish

Irish undergoes a spelling reform in opposite directions in Irta and Tricin; Irta uses a phonetic orthography while the Trician spelling is more etymological than our Classical Irish orthography, reflecting lost Proto-Celtic consonants (ølámh = hand, iomshaigh = to turn, Afhishfe = Aoife, joighear = ice)

English, Irish and Nithish are the main languages used in Irtan linguistics (in Crackfic Tricin, English and Netagin; in Canon Tricin, Eevo, Anbirese and Netagin)

Our transcription of Irish

Since Irta Irish has different dialects and orthographies depending on location, we'll generally use the following phonetic orthography to transcribe Irish according to how they are pronounced in the individual dialect.

(/ denotes a broad/slender pair.)

Irta and CF Trician Irish both have 5 phonemic vowel qualities:
a/ia ā/i
oe/e oē/ē
y/i ȳ/ī
o/io ō/iō
u/iu ū/iū

Diphthongs: īe ūo īa aj/iaj əj/ej aw/iaw əw/ew

Schwa: a = broad ə, e = slender ə (written as y/i when pronounced as [ɪ])

consonants: b c ch d gh f g h j l ll m n nn ng p r rr s t v, z in loans

ı = soft sign

Names that exist in our Irish (such as Aoife) will be spelled in our timeline's post-reform orthography.

Diphthongs: ai/yai ei/yei au/yau ewu/yewu ie ue ia

from WP

Munster Irish differs from Ulster and Connacht Irish in a number of respects. Some words and phrases used in Munster Irish are not used in the other varieties, such as:

in aon chor (Clear Island, Corca Dhuibhne, West Muskerry, Waterford) or ar aon chor (Clear Island, West Carbery, Waterford) "at any rate" (other dialects ar chor ar bith (Connacht) and ar scor ar bith (Ulster)
fé, fí "under" (standard faoi)
Gaelainn "Irish language" (Cork and Kerry), Gaeilinn (Waterford) (standard Gaeilge)
ná "that...not; do not" (standard nach)
leis "also" (Connacht freisin, Ulster fosta)
anso or atso "here" and ansan or atsan "there" instead of standard anseo and ansin, respectively
In both demonstrative pronouns and adjectives speakers of Munster Irish differentiate between seo "this" and sin "that" following a palatalised consonant or front vowel and so "this" and san "that" following a velarised consonant or back vowel in final position: an bóthar so "this road", an bhó san "that cow", an chairt sin "that cart", an claí seo "this fence"
the use of thá instead of tá in the extreme west of Corca Dhuibhne and in Gaeltacht na nDéise.
the preposition chuig "to, towards", common in Connacht Irish and Ulster Irish where it developed as a back formation from the 3rd person singular preposition chuige "towards him" is not used in Munster. The form chun (from Classical Irish do chum), also found in the West and North, is used in preference.
Munster Irish uses a fuller range of "looking" verbs, while these in Connacht and Ulster are restricted: féachaint "looking", "watching", breithniú "carefully observing", amharc "look, watch", glinniúint "gazing, staring", sealladh "looking" etc.
the historic dative form tigh "house", as in Scots and Manx Gaelic, is now used as the nominative form (Standard teach)
Munster retains the historic form of the personal pronoun sinn "us" which has largely been replaced with muid (or muinn in parts of Ulster) in most situations in Connacht and Ulster.
Corca Dhuibhne and Gaeltacht na nDéise use the independent form cím (earlier do-chím) "I see" as well as the dependent form ficim / feicim (earlier ad-chím), while Muskerry and Clear Island use the forms chím (independent) and ficim.
The adverbial forms chuige, a chuige in Corca Dhuibhne and a chuigint "at all" in Gaeltacht na nDéise are sometimes used in addition to in aon chor or ar aon chor
The adjective cuibheasach /kiːsəx/ is used adverbially in phrases such as cuibheasach beag "rather small", "fairly small", cuibheasach mór "quite large". (Some dialects sách)
Some dialects in Cualand informally use sách or sach for 'many', influenced by An Yidish סך (cf. Yiddish a sach 'a lot of')
Faic, pioc, puinn and tada in West Munster, dada in Gaeltacht na nDéise, ní dúrt pioc "I said nothing at all", níl faic dá bharr agam "I have gained nothing by it"
The interjections ambaiste, ambaist, ambasa, ambaic "Indeed!", "My word!", "My God!" in West Munster and amaite, amaite fhéinig in Gaeltacht na nDéise (ambaiste = dom bhaisteadh "by my baptism", am basa = dom basaibh "by my palms", ambaic = dom baic "by my heeding"; amaite = dom aite "my oddness")
obann "sudden" instead of tobann in the other major dialects
práta "potato", fata in Connacht and préata in Ulster
oiriúnach "suitable", feiliúnach in Connacht and fóirsteanach in Ulster
nóimint, nóimit, nóimeat, neomint, neomat, nóiméad in Connacht and bomaite in Donegal
Munster differentiates between ach go háirithe "anyway", "anyhow" and go háirithe "particularly", "especially"
gallúnach "soap", gallaoireach in Connacht and sópa in Ulster
deifir is "difference" in Munster, and is a Latin loan: níl aon deifir eatarthu "there is no difference between them"; the Gaelic word deifir "hurry" is retained in the other dialects (c.f. Scottish Gaelic diofar "difference")
deabhadh or deithneas "hurry" whereas the other major dialects use deifir
-(e)amhail used instead of standard -(i)úil in Dunquin in words such as suimeamhail, cáirdeamhail, oifigeamhail, etc. instead of standard suimiúil, cáirdiúil, oifigiúil, etc.
