-The Protestant Reformation culminated in the establishment of a form of Protestantism as the state religion of Albion, and Albionian became associated with Protestantism. In response, the Catholic Church promoted the Irish language and Irish nationalism in Ireland as part of its Counter-Reformation program, which involved associating Catholicism and anti-Albionian sentiment with Irish national identity. The program included purifying the Irish language by removing Slavic words and morphology and incorporating Old Irish elements. However, the purism was not entirely successful, as Slavic had already deeply influenced the colloquial language.

 Today's Irish is a compromise between the artificially purified Irish and the colloquial, partly creolized Irish of that period. Inherited Celtic words are more common in the literary language, while Slavic and English words are more common in the colloquial language.
