Irish in the Albionian timeline has absorbed significant Albionian influence, and the Slavic elements even penetrated grammar and grammatical morphemes.

Nouns

The neuter gender is preserved but there are fewer declension classes. The nominative plural of masculines and feminines is uniformly -aí (by Slavic influence) and plural of neuters is usually -a. and case is marked on the articles.

  • an fear, na fearaí = man, men
  • an gorad, na goradaí = castle, castles
  • an chathair, na cathairí

The indefinite article is den (from den 'from the' + Slavic *edìn 'one').
