Sairstír Celinese or Sairstirian (endonym: Elítheg Sairstíroth or Sairstíreg - sometimes referred to, particularly in Elitho, as Lônairesc [lo̝nˈɑɪɻəʂ]) because of its complex links with the language of Aír, is a broad term used to refer to those varieties of Modern Southwestern Elithoan Celinese spoken in the Free Commonwealth of Sairstír. A common three-way distinction is drawn between mailsairstíreg (lit. Soft Sairstirian), spoken in Wylombeir and the northern seaboard, stairsairstíreg (Broad Sairstirian, lit. Hard Sairstirian), a more divergent form from Standard Elithoan Celinese that has not undergone Elithoan sound changes and has conserved features of Old Airesc Celinese, and Eilíonlyn, a very conservative Southern Celinese variety spoken on the island of Eilíon and the Darnorwach Peninsula. The term does not apply to
