Verse:Irta/Tricin
(Idea is Praimhín's.) A Tricin-Irta crossover. Contrary to its name, it's not meant to be totally unrealistic.
- it assumes travel from Verse:Irta to a Crackfic version of Verse:Tricin is possible. Tricin got an influx of Irtan immigrants after the religious turmoil in Europe in Irta's 18th century (the majority of Irtan immigration, though there have been Irta immigrants to Tricin before), and brought along their tech which was more advanced than Tricin at the time (right after the Jeodganite Revolution). This explains why English is dominant in CF Tricin.
- Proto-Talmic evolves differently in Bjeheond, resulting in Wiebisch instead of Nurian, as a result the Bjeheondian sprachbund is more like our Central European one.
- in Crackfic Tricin, Quame and Lakovic aren't as dominant as they are in canon Tricin; Idavic languages such as Netagin languages, Ouřefr and Dodellian are dominant in Southern Talma, Txapoalli and Onishia as well, as well as parts of Cualuav (called "Cualand" in CF Tricin) as in canon Tricin.

Wiebian
A Talmic language - the idea is inspired by German placenames of Celtic origin
kiem, ziedel, nalch, taub, serd, stahm, laut, röld, balb, ihl
l - r switcheroo, since Talmic l sounds like Bjeheondian r - Windermere transcriptions of Eevo even use <r ļ> for Eevo <l r>
the standard Wiebian accent is somewhat different from Hochdeutsch: short o sounds like Estonian õ, as in Wocht "lake" ...
ch is always /x/ and may be weakened to /h/ before a consonant
s and ß are apical
Eevo accents
Bjeheondian Eevo (spoken in places like Anøvr Syrñ): r sounds like ɹ/ɻ/ɽ, rr sounds like ɾ
-r and -yr are rhotic vowels; tr and dr sound like Hmong rh and r
sounds like an Albanian accent in Eevo
-e in demonstratives randomly changes to /i/
A brew emb pyduþ lleg, twm ñe emb xaðjon ñe taw pyduþ lleg sa, llysáin emb deljað e taw pyduþ lleg sa.
Broad Bjeheondian: /ə pɽɛu̯ ɛm pʰəd̪yθ xɛʔ͡k tʰum ŋi ɛm ʃäðjɔŋ ŋi tʰɐu pʰəd̪yθ xɛʔk sä xəsɐin ɛm tɛːjəð i tʰɐu pʰəd̪yθ xɛʔk sä/
Bjeheondian English
VSO exclamations common; certain Bjeheondian calques; varying levels of Windermere and Wiebian phonetic influences
Bjeheondians sometimes reduce vowels to /ə/ even when native accents don't, like sometimes /səmtəms/; they also generalize plurals of nouns ending in f and th, the latter pronounced /dz/.
Other common phonetic features are a total merger of voiced th and d and th-stopping. R was historically uvular in broad Bjeheondian accents and alveolar in cultivated accents but this is reversed in modern times. As in other varieties of English, native words referring to flora and fauna as well as cultural concepts unique to Tricin are borrowed into Bjeheondian English.
Bjeheondian English is typically non-rhotic. Windermere-influenced accents realize the syllabic r as a front rounded vowel /ø/, and in unstressed position, /ə/ rather than the native Windermere /ɐ/. Final devoicing is a dialectal feature of certain Wiebian accents.
Stress may differ in Bjeheond due to a mixture of spelling pronunciation, regularization and influences from regional dialects of Apple PIE, often tracing to Greek or Romance languages. Sometimes the Dreimorengesetz is applied synchronically -- e.g. -tion nouns are regularized as in attríbution
Trician creole English
There are various English creoles in Tricin, in parts of Bjeheond, Onishia, Etalocin and Tsrovetia.
Weebish (an English-Japanese-Wiebisch creole)
Onishian English
Not much Trician influence in phonology or grammar, unlike in Bjeheond
Onishian non-creole English is entirely an offshoot of an Irta British dialect
A Tuzzo Lanto
Poetry restricts phonotactics or phonology? (like Gadsby which uses no e, but on steroids)
Talman Jews
Languages: Judeo-Anbirese
These guys use 17edo tropes; minor and neutral 3rd scales common. Also common among Tsarfati Tricians
Judeo-Anbirese
Preserves Middle Anbirese þ and δ (which becomes unaspirated t/z in Modern Anbirese), slender s > š instead of sje
Hebrew reading
/u o O a E e i (shva na) (chataf patach) (chataf segol) (chataf qamatz)/ u o eo a ae ae i eo a e eo
/2 b v g ğ d ð h w z H T j k x l m n s 3 p f S q r š t þ/ = [2 b v g g d ð h v z x t= j kh x l n n s ng ph f ts k= r S th þ]
Galoyseg
Spoken by Bjeheondian Jews in the Slithy region of Cualand and Bjeheond; written with the Hebrew alphabet
A time traveler Galoyseg (more conservative vowels kept at the stage reflected by Hebrew orthography); same as canon Galoyseg except with Hebrew and Bjeheondian loans
Galoyseg Hebrew should use ŋ for ayin
The Hebrew spelling is very conservative and effectively treats PCel as PSem: Proto-Celtic *t that became /s/ becomes tav rafe, Proto-Celtic *ā becomes cholam, and Proto-Celtic *a that became Old Galoyseg *ā becomes qamatz. Hebrew loans are always written fully vocalized.
