Update

Good Morning, News from Aryamaan Goswamy!

73 words are in _____ (now known as Gnomese or Assoese). Few are phrases, like Garden of Wonder, and some are words not of daily speech, like Dragon. Such words have appeared because I am writing a story about Gnomes.

Here's the alphabet:

Aa Áá Bb Kk Ĉĉ Dd Ee Éé Phph Gg Ĝĝ Hh Ii Íí Yy Ll Mm Nn Oo Óó Pp Rr Ss Ŝŝ Tt Uu Vv Zz

Simple, yet satisfying. Words can get prefixes and suffixes, like ápelmi (apple is mine, pardon me, I didn't put the', that would be vao'o aapelmi) and daapelmi (prefix da-, which turns pronouns into adjectives+aapel, noun+mi, pronoun, possessive when used as a suffix= My apple)

Also, á= aa, ĉ = cc, é = e'e, ĝ = gg, í = ii, ó = o'o, ŝ = ss.

Ss is pronounced sh, gg is pronounced j, and cc is pronounced ch. The vowels with accents are long versions of themselves: aa, e'e  (as in ate), o'o, ii. There is no long version for u. Also, note that there is ph and not f. Ph has the same sound as f.

It has fewer than 100,000 speakers, and if you really want to make Irish survive, then I recommend that you learn Irish and then become an Irish teacher.  What is the majority language, then? Yup, it's English!  It is among the national languages of the EU. Which is very impressive for a language which has less than a million speakers.   The fate of the language was influenced by the increasing power of the English state in Ireland. Elizabethan officials viewed the use of Irish unfavourably, as being a threat to all things English in Ireland. Its decline began under English rule in the 17th century. In the latter part of the 19th century...
