The Irish vocabulary in Midhirian reflects a fictional Middle Irish dialect which shows features of modern Munster Irish and our timeline's Scottish Gaelic; it was conservative in that broad dh (> Midhirian /zʶ/) was kept distinct from broad gh (> Midhirian /ʁ/). Broad coronals were strongly velarized, and /a:/ was backed to [ɑ:] after broad consonants, explaining why Irish broad ''s d g'' were heard as /sˁ tˁ⁼ q⁼/ by the Arabic speakers. | The Irish vocabulary in Midhirian reflects a fictional Middle Irish dialect which shows features of modern Munster Irish and our timeline's Scottish Gaelic; it was conservative in that broad dh (> Midhirian /zʶ/) was kept distinct from broad gh (> Midhirian /ʁ/).
