Verse talk:

Crackfic Tricin is a Tricin-Irta crossover created by Praimhín and Inthar. Contrary to its name, it's not meant to be totally unrealistic.

  • it assumes travel between Verse:Irta and 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.
  • The Bjeheondian sprachbund is more like our Central European one.
  • Hetomic, English, Netagin, Irish, Clofabosin and Naquian are the most widely used languages in Crackfic Tricin, and Clofabosin and English are lingua francas.

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 Irta, 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

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.
