Editing Language and the euro (section)

===Irish===
In [[Irish language|Irish]], the words {{Lang|ga|euro}} and {{Lang|ga|cent}} are used without change in [[spelling]] or [[pronunciation]], and immune to the regular rules of Irish [[initial consonant mutation|mutation]] after numbers; as such, they are [[gender (linguistics)|ungendered]], and the plural ''euronna'' is thus rarely encountered.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.transparent.com/irish/ag-caint-faoin-euro-speaking-of-the-euro/|title=Ag Caint faoin Euro (Speaking of the Euro)|publisher=Transparent Language|website=Irish Language Blog|date=30 November 2010|access-date=28 September 2016}}</ref> The word ''ceint'' {{IPA|ga|ˈkʲɛnʲtʲ|}} (plural ''ceinteanna'' {{IPA|ga|ˈkʲɛnʲtʲən̪ˠə|}}) has been in the lexicon since at least 1959 and is attested in printed literature, but is very rarely encountered.<ref>{{Cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FDUfDAAAQBAJ&q=eorónna |title = Linguistic Diversity and European Democracy|isbn = 9781317104926|last1 = Kjær|first1 = Anne Lise|last2 = Adamo|first2 = Silvia|date = 6 May 2016| publisher=Routledge }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gHw9M_817nwC&q=eoronna | title=A Union of Diversity: Language, Identity and Polity-Building in Europe| isbn=9781139469814| last1=Kraus| first1=Peter A.| date=10 March 2008| publisher=Cambridge University Press}}</ref>

Linguist [[Michael Everson]] in a 2001 paper proposed a new masculine noun ''eoró'' {{IPA|ga|ˈɔɾˠoː|}} (plural ''eorónna'' {{IPA|ga|ˈɔɾˠoːn̪ˠə|}}), or alternatively ''eora'' (plural ''eoraí''), derived from ''Eoraip'' ('Europe'), as being a more grammatically acceptable Irish term.<ref>[http://www.evertype.com/standards/euro/euro-eora-en.pdf Euro or eora? Cent or ceint? The new currency and Ireland] evertype.com</ref> However, it was not widely adopted and is not in common use.

Irish also practices [[lenition]] after the numerals 2–6 (5 ''cheint'') and [[eclipsis]] after numerals 7–10 (9 ''gceint'', 8 ''n-eoró'').<ref>{{cite web|url=http://evertype.com/standards/euro/euronames.html|title=Evertype: The name of the euro|website=evertype.com}}</ref> However, as ''ceint'' is irregularly pronounced (no other Irish word has a [[soft c|soft ''c'']]), lenition and eclipsis are usually not applied.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-2RsBAAAQBAJ&q=ceinteanna&pg=PT245|title=Colloquial Irish (eBook And MP3 Pack): The Complete Course for Beginners|first1=Thomas|last1=Ihde|first2=Maire Ni|last2=Neachtain|first3=Roslyn|last3=Blyn-LaDrew|first4=John|last4=Gillen|date=14 October 2014|publisher=Routledge|via=Google Books|isbn=9781317582847}}</ref>
