==Early Modern Albionian==
Today some syntactic constructions and endings from Early Modern Netažin still survive in poetic or flowery Netažin, but the register as a whole sounds markedly religious and is thus not used even in modern fantasy or historical fiction.
===Accent===
*Old acute (modern stød): ạ
*Neoacute (high rising): á
*Dipping-rising: à (resulting from contraction of VjV)
*Grave or circumflex (low): à (long but not acute)
*Unaccented: a (resulting from stress shift to initial)
All of those diacritics (except the flat one for length) are obsolete today, except the old acute in dictionaries; neoacute, old acute dipping rising and grave all merged into length marked with the question-mark diacritic. Only old editions of religious and liturgical texts consistently use tone diacritics.
===Morphology===
*Instrumental case (''instrumentaùl'')
*Pseudo-dual dative and instrumental endings in {{Gael|-ma}}: {{Gael|walsnaìma dweama aucima}} 'with one's own two eyes'
*Some archaic forms such as {{Gael|ꞃeacl}} 'he said' for {{Gael|ꞃeal}}
*Possessive adjectives in ''-ow'' or ''-in'' more widespread (''ty marchogowea Arþyrowai'' 'Arthur's knights', modern ''ty marchogowea Arthyra'')
*Infinitives in ''-ti'' or ''-thi'' (e.g. ''dealati'', ''rieþi'')
*Pro-drop when the subject is not 3rd person
*3sg, 2pl and 3pl present and future perfective forms in ''-t'', ''-te'' and ''-nt'' (e.g. ''dealàt, dealàte, dealànt'', sometimes for more archaic effect ''dealaït, dealaïte, dealaïnt''); the 3pl form is always used with a plural subject.
*''ne'' used without ''als''.
*''est'' and ''sunt'' are used for 3sg and 3pl present of ''baịt'' (The modern forms ''les/os'' and ''len/lesun/òn/osun'' are from ''gleḋ/ot est'' 'here is' and ''gleḋ/ot sunt''.)
*definite articles in genitive phrases: a genitive phrase of the form X DEF.GEN Y.GEN is implied to be definite (cf. Hebrew and Irish). On the other hand, Modern Albionian usually requires X to take the definite article as well.
*The use of ''-li'' on verbs for interrogatives: ''znạꞅ-li?'' 'dost thou know? kennst du?' This still survives as a way to mark conditional clauses in modern formal language.
*''-mo'' is sometimes used instead of ''-m''  for dative (but not instrumental) singular masculine and neuter adjectives and pronouns: ''spiewejte jemo pieseň nowa'' 'sing unto him a new song', ''prechodnejmo'' 'fleeting'. ''-mo'' is still found in literary poetry but it doesn't consistently correspond to the Proto-Slavic dative. <!-- I chose to change mu to mo to make it sound like Archaic Biblical Hebrew -ėmo -->
*Adjectives may come before nouns.
*Early Modern Albionian disallowed morphological "double negatives":
**ne... aden X instead of ne... wals ġàdnoeo X
**ne... weath  instead of ne... wals niċeo
**ne... ċelweac 'not a human' instead of ne... wals niceo
