==Languages==
'''Lõis''' (from the [[Tyrith]] name for 'Earth') is an alternate-history timeline for Earth.
 
==History==
Almost the same as our Earth timeline but with some added languages:
Some points of divergence:
 
*Hellenistic Greece spread to Central Asia and East India, giving us [[Kwenya]] and [[Heleasic]].
*[[Medh Chêl]], in Kaliningrad
*The Roman Empire expanded to Greece, Eastern Europe and Caucasus, hence influencing Azalic and Celtic languages, but lost territory in Italy and Western Europe to the Corded Ware peoples, and in Eastern Europe they lost out to Celts eventually.
*[[Kyravar Maři]], a Balkan sprachbund Dravidian language
*The [[Siészal]] sacked China at the end of the Tang Dynasty, ending Dynastic China.
*[[Bgapian]]
*[[Glommish]], in the Alps
*[[Inland North Czech]], spoken by an Amish-like religious sect descended from the Bohemian Brethren
 
In addition, there are a few pockets of vernacular Esperanto-speaking populations from Homaranist missions.
