Al-Qayljiyyah (the Arabic name for the language) is a descendant of Old Irish that has been heavily influenced by Arabic.

Romanized spelling

  • Lenition is always spelled with an overdot, never with h. This is because of Arabic clusters with /h/.
  • In Arabic loans, final consonant is always slender unless laryngeal, /r/ or emphatic (This is because of the genitive ending -i)
  • Iotation in Arabic loans is spelled with an extra i before the vowel: giumhúirie /ɟʊmˈhuːrʲjə/ 'republic'.

Gaelic maqam (macáim)

Macáim Għaigeim should be based on Dorian
