Primitive Ruáian or Archaic Ruáian (Mealligian: Ruáianaigh Ársa, Ruáianaigh Chianach), also called Proto-Ruáianaigh, is the oldest known form of the Córthíac languages, and the ancestor of all languages within this family.
This phase of the language is known only from fragments, mostly personal names, inscribed on stone in the Gailír alphabet in Gotneska between the 3rd and 7th century AD, before the advent of Old Ruáian. These inscriptions are referred to as Orthodox Gailír, although scholastic use of the script continued residually until the early 19th century.
