In the Lõis timeline, Inland North Czech (natively /ˈtʃɜʃcena/) is a Common Czech descendant spoken by an Amish-like Christian sect descended from the Bohemian Brethren in Canada and the Inland North area of the United States. It shares certain vowel shifts with Inland North English (which is also the standard Canadian accent in Lõis) and has a stratum of Dutch and Low German loanwords. The everyday spoken register of Inland North Czech is in diglossia with the liturgical language which is based on the Kralice Bible.
This page will only describe the phonology.
