A slightly more archaic stage of Irta Irish with Ăn Yidiș loans (including Hebrew and Hivantish words) and some Hebrew influence; it has very little influence from English or from Trician languages. It also keeps the distinction between dependent and independent present forms, like our Early Modern Irish: ''molann sé'' 'he praises', ''ní mhol sé'' 'he does not praise'. Like literary Ăn Yidiș(*), Literary Cualand Irish is often influenced by literary Hebrew syntax, for example using ''iolaigh'' ('to VERB a lot', from OIr ''ilaigidir'' 'to increase') and other verbs as auxiliaries: | A slightly more archaic stage of Irta Irish with Ăn Yidiș loans (including Hebrew and Hivantish words) and some Hebrew influence; it has very little influence from English or from Trician languages.

Today, Cualand Irish is written in a much more phonetic orthography, introduced by Alastair Mac Léivigh, based on similar principles to Cyrillic. The older orthography, identical to our post-reform Irish orthography but written in Gaelic type, was used in Ádhamh Binn-Fíona's times. | Today, Cualand Irish is written in a much more phonetic orthography, introduced by Alastair Mac Léivigh, based on similar principles to Cyrillic.
