Aoid (aoidleam [ˈiːdʲlʲəm]) is an Esperanto-derived language influenced by the phonology of Irish Gaelic. It is spoken primarily by members of the Céas na hAoidean; because of this, speakers of Aoid and members of the Céas are both (confusingly) called aoidean, (Aoid pronunciation: [ˈiːdʲən]) singular of aoid "child".
Aoid is the liturgical language of the Céas na hAoidean new religious movement, founded by Fí Deám in 65-Knees. The extent of the use of Aoid before the founding of the Céas is unclear; the general consensus is that the language developed from various groups of Esperantists, retroactively called the Fairlean, who settled on the bank of the Sanzu River; after drinking the water of the Sanzu, they contracted viral amnesia which garbled their speech, leading them to develop their unique Esperanto-derived language.
Phonology
Consonants
Aoid has 19 consonant phonemes (sonáintean). These consonants are split into two categories; the "strong" (díoch) consonants and "lean" (sbhaelte) or palatalised consonants (cf. Irish broad and slender consonants).
| Labial | Coronal | Dorsal | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| strong | lean | strong | lean | strong | lean | ||
| Nasal | m | mʲ | n | ɲ | ŋ | (ŋʲ) | |
| Stop | voiceless | p | pʲ | t | tʲ | k | kʲ |
| voiced | b | bʲ | d | dʲ | g | gʲ~dʒ | |
| Fricative | voiceless | f | fʲ | s | ʃ | x | ç |
| voiced | ʋ | vʲ | (z) | ||||
| Approximant | central | ɾ | ɾʲ | ||||
| lateral | l | lʲ | |||||
/z/ only appears phonemically in a couple words, such as Zámóftach "Zamenhof Day", as well as as an elition of /d/; as an elition of /d/, it can sometimes be pronounced as voiced dental fricative /ð/, especially among older and/or secular speakers. /ŋʲ/ appears as a nasal assimilative allophone before lean dorsal stops, i.e. /kʲ, gʲ~dʒ/, though the status of this allophone is controversial as some have described the phone as closer to a palatal nasal /ɲ/.
The pronunciation of /ʋ vʲ/ is variable. In common speech, /ʋ/ can be pronounced as labial-velar /w/, especially around rounded vowels.[a]
Vowels
Aoid has seven pure vowel phonemes, called the fídealat (lit. "faithfuls, laypeople"), shown below in the table. Five of the fídealat, /a ɛ i ɔ u/, can also be lengthened, and are also nasalised before nasal consonants; these five are called the faistean. (lit. "priests") The other non-faistean vowels, /ə/ and /ɪ/, are unstressed allophones of /a ɛ ɔ u/ and /i/ respectively.
| Front | Central | Back | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Close | i | ɪ | u | |
| Mid | ɛ | ə | ɔ | |
| Open | a | |||
Stressed /u/, especially word-initally, is often pronounced more centrally as [ʊ], such as in uind [ˈʊɲdʲ] "dog".
