Aoid (aoidlíumh [ˈiːdʲlʲĩw̃]) is an Esperanto-derived language influenced by the phonology of Irish Gaelic. It is spoken primarily by members of the Céas na hAoidean; because of this, speakers of Aoid and members of the Céas are both (confusingly) called aoidean, (Aoid pronunciation: [ˈiːdʲən]) singular of aoid "child".
