'''Apple PIE''' (name tentative) is an alternate history of IE and nearby cultural regions. The premise is "different diachronic evolutions of English, Hebrew, Māori and a few other languages". Some other languages like French and Arabic are a bit more different from our timeline.

The proto-branch of English in this universe is the set in the same place as our Hurrian and Urartian; conversely, Germanic becomes a non-IE language family.
 
==English==
 
Most in-universe English dialects don't merge some PIE sounds, like *ei and *ī, which are merged in Proto-Germanic. Otherwise they sound a lot like English accents from our timeline.
 
==Hebrew==
 
Paleo-Hebrew in this universe distinguishes most consonants of Proto-Semitic, unlike in our timeline. This is reflected in some in-universe Hebrew accents which preserve distinctions like צׁ /ts̠/ vs צׂ /ts/, cognate with Arabic emphatic S and D.
 
The closest Hebrew accent in-universe to our Modern Hebrew preserves the distinction between PSem *x and PSem *H as well.
 
==Māori==
 
Proto-Austronesian in Apple PIE has the same urheimat as in our timeline but a very different phonology and morphology; its phonology is small like Finnish and its morphology is Altaic-ish; its evolution into Māori as we know it, a VSO language, is analogous to PIE's evolution into Irish.
 
==Conlangs==
===Hyperfrench===
French through Proto-Slavic -> Russian sound changes (nasal vowels get denasalized etc.)
 
r -> h consistently; a four way stop distinction as in Hindi
