Ivernic language
Ivernic is the modern name for an extinct P-Celtic (probably Brythonic) language mentioned in the ''Sanas Cormaic'', written in the 9th century AD by the Old Irish-speaking Cormac mac Cuilennáin, where it is called ''Iarnnbērlæ'' (modern (アイルランド語:Iarmbélre)), traditionally translated as "Iron Speech", although the "Iarnn-" prefix may be etymologically akin to ''Iverni''.
T. F. O'Rahilly believed this language was spoken by the Iverni (hence its modern name). He proposed that the Iverni invaded Ireland from Britain, bringing with them the language. However, by the proto-historical period the Irveni were evidently Goidelic-speaking, as evidenced by the fact that ogham inscriptions in Primitive Irish are most abundant in Counties Cork and Kerry.〔John T. Koch, "Ériu, Alba and Letha: When was a Language Ancestral to Gaelic First Spoken in Ireland?", ''Emania'' 9, 1991, pp. 17-27〕 Whether the Iverni did, in fact, speak Ivernic is purely conjectural.
The ''Sanas Cormaic'' defines Ivernic as such:
Iarnnbērlæ ''.i.'' is aire isberar, ar a duibe in bēlræ ⁊ ar a dorchatæ ⁊ ar a dlūithe, co nāch erasa taisscēlad ind. 755.
Iron Speech ''n.'' it is so called because of the darkness of the language, and its obscurity and density, so that it is difficult to explore.
Two words are further recorded in the ''Sanas'' as coming from Ivernic, which Cormac describes as recently extinct: ''ond'' = "stone" and ''fern'' = "anything good".
