In-universe, it is a conlang by [[Verse:Aoife|Aoife Ní Fhlaithbheartaigh]], inspired by pre-Trician reform Irish orthography. Though its grammar is Standard Average Talman, its phonology (before it evolves into Dheofáid) is less so. | In-universe, it is a conlang by [[Verse:Aoife|Aoife Ní Fhlaithbheartaigh]], inspired by pre-Trician reform Irish orthography.

An Bhlaoighne is used in a popular [[Verse:CF Tricin|Crackfic Trician]] sci-fi video game created by Aoife where it is the ceremonial language of ascended transhumans in a culture called Méich Bhaonnáiqh. The conlang steals morphemes from many languages, including [[Naeng]] (1sg r, 2sg ł), Irish (samhradh for summer etc.), Hebrew, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Korean, and Indo-Iranian (especially when they sound like literally read Irish words: for example ''tanaí'', 'thin' in Irish, means 'condition' in An Bhlaoighne, from Hebrew תנאי ''tănay''). Hebrew is also a major influence on the semantics/derivation of words. However, the majority of the vocabulary is a priori (read: a significant fraction of which is Earth math and xenharmonic music Easter eggs). | An Bhlaoighne is used in a popular [[Verse:CF Tricin|Crackfic Trician]] sci-fi video game created by Aoife where it is the ceremonial language of ascended transhumans in a culture called Méich Bhaonnáiqh.

The facts stated here as descriptive of the spoken language refer to the spoken language of the first generation of native speakers in CF Tricin. Mentions of prescriptivism refer to the original grammar used in the video game and codified by Aoife. | The facts stated here as descriptive of the spoken language refer to the spoken language of the first generation of native speakers in CF Tricin.
