+'''English in the Irta timeline''' (Thurish: ''yȧzalathā nowā'', Riphean: ''āzaliske rstine''; names that sound like "Azalic" are used in Northern Europe, but Latin and Romance use names from Latin ''Anglica'', from the native name ''əngoilisχ'') is Indo-European and pretty much has exactly the same vocabulary and grammar as our English, but with a very different history and orthography created by Praimhín. In particular, it is an [[Azalic]] language, not a Germanic one. Also missing are some loans from German and Modern Scandinavian such as ''schadenfreude'' and ''smörgåsbord''. Words (even words directly inherited from PIE) may not have the same etymologies as in our English.

+p t̪ tʃ k b d̪ dʒ g m n̪
+ɸ β ʋ w θ ð s z ʃ ʒ h
+l~lˠ ɹ̝ˠ j
+and allophonic ʔ
+(stops were not aspirated)

+GOOSE: /u:/
+FOOT: /u/
+STRUT: /ø/
+no Canadian raising, rhotic vowels are basically the vowels plus /ɹ/ [ɹ̝ˠ]
+most of the changes that happen between the 10th and 17th centuries are to the consonants: /pʰ tʰ/ turn into breathy spirants /ɸʰ θʰ/, which was thought of as substandard speech until around the 13th century; the breathiness disappears around the 15th century when ph th officially become /ɸ θ/
+th century English also had a split between w from PAzal *v, pronounced /ʋ/, and w from PAzal *qh and *ᵹh, pronounced /w/
+chain shift in 18th century accents: /ø/ -> /ə/, but /o:/ becomes a new front rounded vowel /ɔɵ/ and then /ɔʉ/ (a bit like in Australian English); then in the 20th century it would shift to /əʏ/
+==Orthography==
+Some hyperarchaisms even in Latin and Greek loans: gnobill for noble
+==Accents==
+different from our English accents; RP shouldn't exist
+===Quelfton English===
+Spoken in Quelfton, a city in Irta's Eastern Canada
+Pronounced /kʌftən/; quelf is from PIE *gʷelbʰ- 'womb'
+====Vocabulary====
+Stereotypical Boston words like "wicked" and "pissa"
+====Phonology====
+Philly + Boston; It is meant to be RP in ways that the Irta California accent is not. Intonation is similar to American.
+*MOUTH is monophthongized to [ɶ̝ː], sometimes with a MOUTH-START merger to /aː~æː/.
+*-ing becomes -in' in casual speech
+*(Ph) Philly L (/l/ becomes a pharyngealized nasalized uvular approximant)
+*(~Ph, ~RP) Philly-style reinforcement before voiceless consonants; i.e. generalized Canadain-raising-esque effects
+**When the consonant is voiceless, the nucleus is shortened consonant is lengthened: ''face'' [fɪjsˑ]
+**Otherwise this does not happen: ''fame'' [fɛˑɪm]
+*(B, RP) non-rhotic
+*(Ph, B, RP) Few or no mergers before prevocalic /r/
+*(Ph, ~B, ~RP) Philly short-A system; lax A = [æ], tense A = [eə~ɛə]
+*(Ph, RP) GOAT = [əʊ]; GOOSE = [üw]
+*(~Ph, ~RP) LOT = [ɑ], THOUGHT = NORTH = FORCE = POOR = [oə~ɔə]
+*(B, ~RP) START = [ä]
+*SQUARE (= tense A) = [eə~ɛə]
+*NEAR = [iə~ɪə]
+*NURSE = [əː]
+*wine-whine distinction is optional
+*A 3-way distinction of Mary [meəɹi], merry [mɛɹi~mɤɹi], marry [mæɹi], unlike Pacific English
+*hurry [hɤɹi], furry [fəːɹi]
+*orange [ɑɹɪndʒ]
+*mirror [mɪɹə(ɹ)] != nearer [niəɹə(ɹ)]
+*/iːg/ > /ɪg/, /eɪg/ > /ɛg/ in many words
+*/θ ð/ are commonly [t̪ d̪].

+===Pacific===
+A kind of "Transatlantic accent", inspired by Californian + Modern RP/Estuary.
+Intonation is mostly American + my own weird intonation
+=====Vocab=====
+Mostly like our American English, with a limited number of Britishisms: ''knackered, mental, bollocks, bugger, fancy, ...'' the ones I sorta-know how to use
+=====Vowels=====
+*orange = [oːɹəndʒ]
+*Mary-merry-marry merger
+*Mirror-nearer merger
+*Hurry-furry merger
 *No mergers before /l/
+*No trap-bath split
+*No yod-coalescence
-===Consonants===
+=====Consonants=====
 *L is light [l] before vowels and dark [ɫ] otherwise, as in RP.
 **wholly-holy split.
