Al-Qayljiyyah (the Arabic name for the language; the native name is Ᵹaeiliᵹ) is a descendant of Old Irish that has been heavily influenced by Arabic. Qaylji may be used in English as the related adjective.

An Giumhúirie Gaelaċ

The Gaelic Republic (an Giumhúirie Gaelaċ /ə ɟʊmˈhuːrʲjə ˈgeːlˠəχ/) is a Gaelic-speaking, historically Muslim country comprising the entirety of the British Isles. It's often shortened to an Giumhúirie by its inhabitants. The indigenous Celtic speaking peoples converted to Islam around 11th century AD.

Romanized spelling

Based on our Irish orthography, but:

  • Lenition is always spelled with an overdot, never with h. This is because of Arabic clusters with /h/.
  • /g/ (broad or slender) is spelled .

Spelling Arabic loans

  • 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'.
  • Arabic 3ayn is spelled h, but only acts as vowel coloring in Qaylji. It turns neighboring schwa to /ɐ/, etc.

Qaylji macáim

Macáim Gaiᵹeim should be based on Dorian
