Hyperfrench

Hyperfrench (rug Fusieznyvier, literally "Modern French" <- langue française nouvelle) is a language of Irta's France. It is notable for being the least conservative Indo-European language in Irta, grammatically.

Timeline

Around 1300 Irtan Parisian French started evolving very rapidly, around the fifteenth century it had a similar aesthetic to our timeline's Modern French. Around the seventeenth century there was another huge series of sound shifts (including a chain shift l -> r -> h, vowel shifts and Havlik's law) as well as grammatical shifts due to the loss of prestige of Literary French in Irta. Today's Hyperfrench is a quasi-polysynthetic language with clitic complexes and bipersonal agreement, very unusual for Indo-European.

Modern Hyperfrench has lots of loans from Irish and English, the latter including many reborrowed Old French words.

Nouns

Hyperfrench completely lost pluralization, due to unpredictable/koineized sound changes involving yers and analogy.

Noun gender in Hyperfrench is vestigial. Adjective agreement disappeared except in very specific instances which are analyzed by modern Hyperfrench grammarians as remnants of univerbation rather than agreement.
