Bhadhagha (native name An Bhadhagha /a bʰadʰagʰa/) is a Talmic language closely related to Tíogall. It's inspired by Scottish Gaelic and Irish.

Morphology

The Bhadhagha verbal system is very different from Tíogall, and much closer to [Coetel gib].

For one thing, Bhadhagha analogized the analytic forms of verbs to all persons, and fused the personal pronoun with the verb:

moladh ná -> molanna
moladh fiar -> moltar
moladh hú -> molú
moladh hí -> molaí
moladh gámh -> molamh
moladh séid -> molaid
moladh hár -> molair (random change)

The past tense is marked by a séimhiú on the verb as in Irish, except that the suffixes are the same as in the present tense. This comes from a construction that translates to "it was the case that ...", which also survives in [Coetel gib].

Bhadhagha is not split-ergative, unlike Tíogall.
