===Cualand Hebrew===
Retcon ''balagan'' 'mess' from Cualand ĂnY ''bală gan''
Cualand Hebrew is the default vernacular variety of Hebrew in Crackfic Tricin. It's basically our timeline's Modern Hebrew with a Cualand English accent and without the Slavic and Arabic slang and with Netagin and Eevo slang; it's influenced more by Wiebic than Irta Modern Hebrew which is more influenced by Ăn Yidiș. Tsarfati Tricians may use the Irta Hebrew accent, which is more of a Hiberno-English accent (but not Irta Hebrew grammar which sounds flowery to Cualand speakers). In Trician liturgical use, Cualandian Hebrew is the most common, followed by Tsarfati Hebrew.
*qamatz gadol and qamatz qatan are the same for some speakers, for most speakers QG=patach and QQ!=patach, for a small minority QG=QQ!=patach
* Coronal stops are alveolar, rather than dental as in Irta Earth
* As in Irta Modern Hebrew, a new phoneme emerges, /θ̠/, which is a lenited form of both tav and tet but it doesn't pattern like the other begadkefat consonants
*heth and ayin as in Modern Hebrew, a minority pronounces heth as ħ when it derives from PSem ħ, but not when it comes from PSem x
*different casual pronunciations - et ha becomes /ɛθ̠ə/; though in some parts of Cualand the first vowel gets dropped as in our timeline
*resh is an alveolar flap as in Broad Cualand English
*vav and lenited beth become the Hawaiian v~w phoneme, for modern speakers it's /v/
*tzere and segol are sometimes distinguished in some older Cualand accents as /e:/ and /ɛ/, but these are merged in modern accents. Even in older accents, tzere is realized as /ɛ/ in closed syllables, such as /lɛv/ "heart" and /zɛɾ/ "wreath". Tzere is never a diphthong in Cualand.
*In older Cualand dialects there was a distinction between segol from PSem *a, pronounced /æ/ and segol from PSem *i, pronounced /ɛ/, but these have been merged in the modern language.
Names in non-Hebrew Jewish languages written in the Hebrew alphabet, such as [[Ăn Yidiș]], are usually spelled as in the original language, as in Irta Modern Hebrew. Some Irtan nationality names are also used instead of our names.
