'''An Bhlaoighne Qheo''' /an bʰlaojgʰne tɬʰeo/
'''An Bhlaoighne Qheo''' /an bʰlaojgʰne !ʰeo/
'the special/holy speech', shortened as '''An Bhlaoighne''', is a conlang inspired by reading Irish orthography literally (for example: ''seamh'' /seamh/). It was originally created by [[User:Praimhín]].
'the special/holy speech', shortened as '''An Bhlaoighne''', is a conlang inspired by reading Irish orthography literally (for example: ''seamh'' /seamh/). It was originally created by [[User:Praimhín]].


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.
It is also inspired by coincidences between Hebrew and Irish.
 
An Bhlaoighne is used in a popular Irtan 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 TibH /t{{asp}}a'na:aj/). Hebrew (from all stages) 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).
 
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.
