<!--
 
This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
 
I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.

An Bhlaoighne is inspired by Irish though the aesthetic is turning out more like Proto-Indo-European.

==Phonology==
 
Phonology of An Bhlaoighne:
a e i o u á é í ó ú /ä e̞~ɛ i o̞~ɔ u a: ɛ: i: o: u:/ + far too many diphthongs to even count!
 
b c d f g h l m n ŋ p q r s t x
/b k d̪ f g h l̪ m n̪ ŋ p tɬ ɹ s t̪ ɬ/
 
The letters bcdfgpqstx can participate in two mutations. In addition, m can be aspirated.
 
Aspiration:
bh ch dh fh gh mh ph qh sh th xh
/bʰ kʰ d̪ʰ fʰ gʰ mʰ pʰ tɬʰ sʰ t̪ʰ ɬʰ/
 
Prenasalization:
mb gc nd bhf ŋg _ mp nq dhs dt dhx
/ᵐb ᵑk ⁿd̪ bʰf ᵑg ᵐp ⁿtɬ dʰs ⁿt̪ dʰɬ/

===Phonotactics===
<!-- Explain the consonant clusters and vowel clusters that are permissible for use in the language. For example, "st" is an allowed consonant cluster in English while onset "ng" isn't. -->
===Morphophonology===
 
==Morphology==
<!-- How do the words in your language look? How do you derive words from others? Do you have cases? Are verbs inflected? Do nouns differ from adjectives? Do adjectives differ from verbs? Etc. -->
===Article===
Both the definite and indefinite articles are 'an' in the singular, 'na' in the plural.
===Gender and declensions===
 
The An Bhlaoighne nominal system has three genders and three declensions.
 
First declension masculine:
indef. sg. aspiration; indef. pl. prenasalization; def. sg. no mutation; def. pl. no mutation
 
First declension feminine:
indef. sg. prenasalization; indef. pl. aspiration; def. sg. aspiration; def. pl. prenasalization
 
First declension neuter:
indef. sg. no mutation; indef. pl. no mutation; def. sg. prenasalization; def. pl. aspiration
 
Second declension masculine:
indef. sg. aspiration; indef. pl. aspiration; def. sg. no mutation; def. pl. prenasalization
 
Second declension feminine:
indef. sg. prenasalization; indef. pl. no mutation; def. sg. aspiration; def. pl. aspiration
 
Second declension neuter:
indef. sg. no mutation; indef. pl. prenasalization; def. sg. prenasalization; def. pl. no mutation
 
Third declension masculine:
indef. sg. aspiration; indef. pl. no mutation; def. sg. no mutation; def. pl. aspiration
 
Third declension feminine:
indef. sg. prenasalization; indef. pl. prenasalization; def. sg. aspiration; def. pl. no mutation
 
Third declension neuter:
indef. sg. no mutation; indef. pl. aspiration; def. sg. prenasalization; def. pl. prenasalization

(Nouns beginning with 'm' can only be 2nd decl masc, 2nd dec fem, 3rd decl masc or 1st decl fem)
 
There's also a 'grab bag' class of nouns that begin with consonants that can't be mutated. The gender of a noun in this class is determined solely by meaning, and there is no way to differentiate between its definite and indefinite form.
 
===Tenses===
present: ceis, cean (with the article)
past: éadh, éan (with the article)
future: liobh, lian (with the article)
aorist ("timeless"): fo, fon
 
*''Fon cealim go bhfóina.'' /fon kealim go bʰfo:jna/ 'The table is white'
*''Cean beathra go dhxeathar.'' /kean beatʰra go dʰɬeatʰar/ 'The man is walking'
*''Cean bheathra go mblaoigh.'' /kean bʰeatʰra go ᵐblaojgʰ/ 'A man is speaking'
(''go''+prenasalization literally means 'in')
===Prepositions fusing with 'an'===
 
*'in': ''go'' + ''an'' = ''ni'', ''go'' + ''na'' = ''in''
*'with': ''ro'' + ''an'' = ''ca'', ''ro'' + ''na'' = ''ac''
*'to': ''eis'' + ''an'' = ''sa'', ''eis'' + ''na'' = ''as''
*'like': ''qe'' + ''an'' = ''xa'', ''qe'' + ''na'' = ''ax''
 
===Inflected prepositions===
 
I, you, he/she, this, that, we, you, they
 
eisiúr, eiséiq, eisear, eiseannsa, eiseann, eisidh, eisibh, eiseanna
 
niúr, néiq, near, neannsa, neann, néidh, néibh, neanna
 
rúr, róiq, rór, rónnsa, rónn, róidh, róibh, rónna
 
qiúr, qéiq, qear, qeannsa, qeann, qéidh, qéibh, qeanna
