-'''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]].
-==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.
-The closest Hebrew accent in-universe to our Modern Hebrew preserves the distinction between PSem *x and PSem *H as well.
-Proto-Central Semitic also keeps Proto-Semitic emphatics as ejectives instead of turning them into unaspirated pharyngealized stops as in our timeline. Hebrew and Aramaic phayngealization came later; Aramaic pharyngealized its emphatics first, and this spread to Hebrew (along with begadkefat)
-In-universe Tiberian has the following sound changes from PSem:
-*x > [[Skellan]] ll
-*ś/s þ s > Basque z, Basque s, š (written as shin left dot, shin middle dot, shin right dot)
-*z ð > voiced Basque z, voiced Basque s
-*ś' þ' s' > /ts, c, c/ (but pharyngealized)
-In-universe Tiberian Hebrew also distinguishes
-* 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. 3Uþmānic Qur'an text is the same.
-==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
-=== Revived Old Irish ===
-With a Modern Qivattu/Inuit accent; spoken in Ireland and Canada
-==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 ===
