A time-traveler English timeline; English is an Indo-European language that is essentially the same as ours but evolved differently. (premise inspired by Verse:Lõis/English)
Accents
A-Standard English
A kind of "Transatlantic accent", inspired by Californian + Philly + Modern RP/Estuary. In continuum with a Philly-like accent.
Vowels
- orange = [ɒɹɪndʒ~ɔɹɪndʒ]
- Mary [mɛəɹi] ≈ merry [mɛɹi] ≠ marry [maɹi]
- Mirror-nearer distinction
- Hurry-furry distinction
- No mergers before /l/
Consonants
- L is light [l] before vowels and dark [ɫ] otherwise, as in RP.
- wholly-holy split.
- Glottal reinforcement before voiceless stops.
- /p t k/ are aspirated after stressed syllables as in RP.
- wine-whine merger optional.
- /r/ may be [ʋ] between vowels.
