-Nineteenth-century Irish nationalism involved associating the Irish language, Catholicism and anti-Albionian sentiment with Irish national identity.

However, the purism was not entirely successful, as Slavic had already deeply influenced the colloquial language.
+The nineteenth-century Irish National Revival movement involved associating the Irish language, Catholicism and anti-Albionian sentiment with Irish national identity. The program included purifying the Irish language by removing Slavic words and morphology and incorporating elements from older stages of Irish. However, the purism was not entirely successful, as Slavic had already deeply influenced the colloquial language.
