Qwbmwdqwg

The Irish-influenced Arabic variety spoken in our Basque Country; written in the Latin alphabet. Its speakers are predominantly Catholic.

"Maltese but with Irish (and secondarily French) instead of Italian" --- the only Irtan Semlang that evolved naturally under Celtic influence (Crannish doesn't really count), and the only Irtan Semitic language written in the Latin script

Phonology

has an almost complete set of emphatic-nonemphatic pairs:

B b G g D d h W w Z z T t GH y K k X x L l M m N n S s F f P p R š (Lith. broad and slender š)

Clusters may not follow bwb sws in native words. Irish broad and slender consonants are borrowed as emphatic and nonemphatic consonants, respectively. Classical Arabic š is reflected as broad Š, while Irish slender s is slender š.

has a similar vowel inventory to Irish, with short /u/ (retained from Classical Arabic) realized as [y] after nonemphatic consonants and with more vowels from lost ayin

a i u á é ý/í ó ú əj əw aj aw ea oa ia ua
