Verse:Irta/Icelandic Gaelic: Difference between revisions

The Protestant Reformation culminated in the establishment of a form of Protestantism as the state religion of Albion, and Albionian became associated with Protestantism. Thus the Catholic Church promoted the Irish language in Ireland as part of its Counter-Reformation program, which involved associating Catholicism and anti-Albionian sentiment with Irish national identity. The program included linguistic purism, i.e. attempting to remove Slavic words and morphology and incorporate Old Irish elements. However, the purism was not entirely successful, as Slavic had already penetrated deep into the function words and grammatical morphology.
