'''Crannish''' (''Hréni'' /xɹaenɪ/ or ''núm Hrén'' /nɨːm xɹaen/; Welsh ''Rhaeneg'', French ''le crainais'') is a Semitic language spoken in the Lõis timeline, spoken by the Crannish, a minority in the British Isles and France and more common in Canada and the United States. The name ''Hréni'' comes from Ancient Crannish ''kanaȝnī'' 'Canaanite'. Crannish has received strong Celtic influence throughout its history since Ancient Crannish times, and genetic studies have shown that the Crannish are descendants of Celtic speakers who adopted a Canaanite language. The language descends from a close relative of Biblical Hebrew (a divergent dialect of Phoenician?) which was spoken in Iberia 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 Crannish people are Catholic; some (particularly in North America) are Muslim, Jewish or neopagan.
