'''Cubrite''' (''Kibrið'' /kɪbɹɪð/ or ''núm Kibr'' /niːm kɪbɐ/) is a Canaanite language spoken in an alt-hist timeline, spoken by the Cubrites, a minority in the Balkans. Standard Cubrite is based on the Kriantoscha (Cubrite ''Krirdox'' /kɹeːˈdɔɧ/ from ''*κarjō ħadasō''; Greek Κριαντόσχα) dialect. Genetic studies have shown that the Cubrites are descendants of Celtic speakers who adopted a Canaanite language. The language descends from a close relative of Biblical Hebrew and preserves quite a few quasi-Biblical Hebrew words and phrases, but its grammar is far more analytic than its ancestor: it was completely restructured to use auxiliaries instead of the older prefix and suffix conjugations, and it is the only Lõisian Semitic language that has lost grammatical gender outside of [[Far East Semitic]]. Most modern Cubrites are Greek Orthodox; a few are Muslim, Jewish or neopagan.

=== Pronouns ===
=== Pronouns ===
Cubrite has a pronoun system similar to European languages, except that there is no grammatical gender and ''se'' "that" is used as an inanimate or gender-neutral pronoun. There is a T-V distinction: the 2nd person plural ''tem'' is also used as a polite pronoun. ''ha/he/hem'' (from older object/possessive forms) may be found instead of ''ta/te/tem'' (from the older independent form) in some dialects.

''I'' (/i:/ or /ɪ/) is the default form for the 1sg subject pronoun; ''ni'' is used after a vowel.

''Tu'' has been proposed as a 2nd person singular neopronoun (inspired by Romance languages). This isn't as common as using the 2nd person plural ''tem'' as singular, however.

For 3fs, ''hi'' is most often used sentence-initially (for present tense). Otherwise ''oj'' is used.
