Line 1: Line 1:
'''Apple PIE''' (name tentative) is an alternate history of IE and nearby cultural regions. The premise is "different diachronic evolutions of English, Hebrew, Māori and a few other languages". Some other languages like French and Arabic are a bit more different from our timeline.

The proto-branch of English in this universe is the set in the same place as our Hurrian and Urartian; conversely, Germanic becomes a non-IE language family.
 
The only IE branches in Apple PIE not directly inspired by any real life IE languages are Mixolydian and [[Hivatish]].
 
==Latin==
 
A tonal language like Greek and Sanskrit
 
==Modern Greek==
 
Written in a version of Linear B, roughly Syllabics + katakana inspired
 
a lot more ways to write /i/ depending on PIE etymon? maybe *i and *iH can use different glyphs?
 
===Hypergreek===
 
Some sound splits conditioned by PIE etymon which are merged in Proto-Greek but do not affect intelligibility for a Modern Greek speaker
 
==Mitanni==
 
Weirdest interpretation of Mitanni cuneiform
 
==English==
 
Most in-universe English dialects don't merge some PIE sounds, like *ei and *ī, which are merged in Proto-Germanic. Otherwise they sound a lot like English accents from our timeline.
 
===Hyperamerican===
 
an English accent with lots of non-Germanic sound splits as well as General American sound mergers
 
LOT ~ THOUGHT, but PIE ey !~ PIE ī
 
==Hebrew==
:''Main article: [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}/Hebrew]]''
Paleo-Hebrew in this universe distinguishes most consonants of Proto-Semitic, unlike in our timeline. This is reflected in some in-universe Hebrew accents which preserve distinctions like צׁ (tsadi w/ right dot) /ts̠/ vs צׂ (tsadi w/ left dot) /ts/, cognate with Arabic emphatic S/Z and D.
 
The closest Hebrew accent in-universe to our Modern Hebrew preserves the distinction between PSem *x and PSem *H as well.
 
Proto-Central Semitic also keeps Proto-Semitic emphatics as ejectives instead of turning them into unaspirated pharyngealized stops as in our timeline. Hebrew and Aramaic phayngealization came later; Aramaic pharyngealized its emphatics first, and this spread to Hebrew (along with begadkefat)
 
In-universe Tiberian has the following sound changes from PSem:
*x > [[Skellan]] ll
*ś/s þ s > Basque z, Basque s, š (written as shin left dot, shin middle dot, shin right dot)
*z ð > voiced Basque z, voiced Basque s
*ś' þ' s' > /ts, c, c/ (but pharyngealized)
 
In-universe Tiberian Hebrew also distinguishes
* cholam from Proto-Semitic *u and *aw = /o/
* cholam from Proto-Semitic *ā = /u/ (/uə/ in some other reading traditions)
* Proto-Semitic *ū = Swedish u (/u/ in some other reading traditions)
 
Some accents merge the first two vowels like our TibH and Israeli did, some merge the second two, and others, such as [[Ăn Yidiș]] Hebrew, keep all three distinct. Hyper-Israeli reflects the first (and qamatz qatan) as (Seoul) Korean eo, the second as Korean o, and the third as Korean u.
 
== Arabic ==
Keeps the ejectives but merges *s and *š as in our timeline. 3Uþmānic Qur'an text is the same.
 
==Māori==
 
Proto-Austronesian in Apple PIE has the same urheimat as in our timeline but a very different phonology and morphology; its phonology is small like Finnish and its morphology is Altaic-ish; its evolution into Māori as we know it, a VSO language, is analogous to PIE's evolution into Irish.
== Celtic ==
No ē-ey-iH merger?
 
=== Galoyseg ===
P-Celtic with a Yiddish touch; ē >  ā > a as in WGmc
 
=== Revived Old Irish ===
With a Modern Qivattu/Modern Inuit/Ăn Yidiș accent; spoken by a few thousand in Ireland and Canada. Some AP-Ashkenazi neopagans and some native Gaelic people speak it. Should be different from Middle Irish
 
dh and th are /z t=/ respectively
 
== Balto-Slavic ==
=== Thurish ===
The only living Balto-Slavic lang
 
==Conlangs==
===Hyperfrench===
French through Proto-Slavic -> Russian sound changes (nasal vowels get denasalized etc.)
 
r -> h consistently; a four way stop distinction as in Hindi
 
===A Romance language===
A language actually named after a cognate of "Latin" spoken in Latium; it has a roughly Catalan/Romanian/Occitan aesthetic
=== Some Middle Eastern lang w/ Basque sibilants ===
