'''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.
#redirect [[Verse:Ed Dynje]]
 
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.
 
The only IE branches in Apple PIE not directly inspired by any real life IE languages are Mixolydian and [[Hivatish]].
 
==Mixolydian==
A satem IE isolate written in the Latin alphabet; pronunciation is quite similar to Pinyin
 
Inspired by Polish and Albanian (aesthetically); Greek and Latin (grammatically)
 
z c s zh ch sh r rr j q x = /z ts s ʐ ʈʂ ʂ ɹ/ɽ r ʑ tɕ ɕ/
 
dz dzh dj = voiced versions of c ch q
 
Stop aspiration is as in Persian (st sounds like sth etc.)
 
j from PIE *y, y is used for /j/ in loanwords and from vowel breaking of PIE *e, e.g. yest "is" <- Proto-Mixolydian *esti
 
today Mixolydian is a small minority language; Mixolydians have almost entirely shifted to local languages (English, Greek, Romance, Iranian, Indian, Chinese)
 
==Latin==
 
A tonal language like Greek and Sanskrit
 
==Modern Greek==
 
Written in a version of Linear B, roughly Syllabics + katakana inspired
 
a lot more ways to write /i/ depending on PIE etymon? maybe *i and *iH can use different glyphs?
 
===Hypergreek===
 
Some sound splits conditioned by PIE etymon which are merged in Proto-Greek but do not affect intelligibility for a Modern Greek speaker
 
==Mitanni==
 
Weirdest interpretation of Mitanni cuneiform
 
==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.
 
===Hyperamerican===
 
an English accent with lots of non-Germanic sound splits as well as General American sound mergers
 
LOT ~ THOUGHT, but PIE ey !~ PIE ī
 
==Hebrew==
:''Main article: [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}/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 (tsadi w/ right dot) /ts̠/ vs צׂ (tsadi w/ left dot) /ts/, cognate with Arabic emphatic S/Z and D.
 
Though in-universe Tiberian Hebrew is identical to that in our timeline, some in-universe reading traditions, such as Gaelic Hebrew, distinguish
* cholam from Proto-Semitic *u and *aw = /o/
* cholam from Proto-Semitic *ā = /u/ (/uə/ in some other reading traditions)
* Proto-Semitic *ū = Swedish u (/u/ in some other reading traditions)
 
Some accents merge the first two vowels like our TibH and Israeli did, some merge the second two, and others, such as [[Ăn Yidiș]] Hebrew, keep all three distinct. Hyper-Israeli reflects the first (and qamatz qatan) as (Seoul) Korean eo, the second as Korean o, and the third as Korean u.
 
== Arabic ==
Keeps the ejectives but merges *s and *š as in our timeline. The 3Uþmānic Qur'an text is the same as in our timeline.
 
==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.
== Celtic ==
No ē-ey-iH merger?
 
=== Galoyseg ===
P-Celtic with a Yiddish touch; ē >  ā > a as in WGmc
 
=== An alternate evolution of Old Irish ===
With Modern Qivattu/Modern Inuit/ influences; spoken in Iceland
 
=== Revived Old Irish ===
Spoken by neopagans
 
dh and th are /z t=/ respectively
 
== Nithic ==
=== Thurish ===
=== Nithish ===
 
==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
 
===A Romance language===
A language actually named after a cognate of "Latin" spoken in Latium; it has a roughly Catalan/Romanian/Occitan aesthetic
=== Some Middle Eastern lang w/ Basque sibilants ===
=== Anidishigin ===
Spoken in future postapocalyptic Apple PIE
 
/a e i o u/ vowel system, based on Belămur Ăn Yidiș + Japanese (with slightly less restrictions on CV combos); ''r'' = /l/ Should allow final consonants devoiced in Japanese?
 
Japanese relexed with mostly Ăn Yidiș vocab; Practically an Irish+Hebrew+Aramaic+Japanese+English creole
 
demonstratives: kore/sore/are (ĂnY šu, šin, šid demonstratives are similar)
 
Pronouns: míshe, wáre, tísa, jinshin (animate), gíshin (inanimate), mishemíshe, warewáre, tisatísa, hébega (from hevră 'friends');
 
''ano~ono VERB'' (Jp 'excuse me'; Gaelic Heb ''óno'' 'please/prithee') = imperative marker
 
No plural; ''nákamu X'' (< Jp nakama 'comrades' + ĂnY gu) is used for the assocciative plural
 
''eto'' (Jp) = accusative marker?
 
Zero copula
 
''on'' (ĂnY ''ołn'') > declarative
 
''iye'' (Jp ''iie'') negation, by itself 'isn't/there isn't'
 
''Idahanin'' 'Jew'
 
''Nihonjinnin'' 'Japanese person'
 
ahizu (Ir ''a chuid'') construct marker; his/hers/its
 
roshifu (Heb) 'also'
 
byonafuki (ĂnY byonăft gît) 'thank you' (Optionally: byonafuki tisa/byonafuki tisatisa)
 
rineda (ĂnY bli nedăr) 'really; right, correct'
 
Something with a more eevo (Topic V2) syntax:
 
Shuremarehen, mishe on namae ahizu Intaa. Mishe iye Idahanin, iye roshifu Sukegonin, iye roshifu Nihonjinnin.
 
Karagunin aishima jinshin eto otokonin.
 
Ăn Yidish directional words used for compass points (sheji, shigu, shesu, shoi < šeř, šier, šes, šuay = east west south north; aneji, anigu, anesu, anoi < ăneř, ănier, ănes, ănuay east, west, south, north winds)
