| '''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.
| | #redirect [[Verse:Ed Dynje]] |
| | |
| 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]].
| |
| | |
| ==Mixolydian==
| |
| A satem IE isolate written in the Latin alphabet; pronunciation is quite similar to Pinyin
| |
| | |
| Inspired by Polish and Albanian (aesthetically); Greek and Latin (grammatically)
| |
| | |
| z c s zh ch sh r rr j q x = /z ts s ʐ ʈʂ ʂ ɹ/ɽ r ʑ tɕ ɕ/
| |
| | |
| dz dzh dj = voiced versions of c ch q
| |
| | |
| Stop aspiration is as in Persian (st sounds like sth etc.)
| |
| | |
| j from PIE *y, y is used for /j/ in loanwords and from vowel breaking of PIE *e, e.g. yest "is" <- Proto-Mixolydian *esti
| |
| | |
| today Mixolydian is a small minority language; Mixolydians have almost entirely shifted to local languages (English, Greek, Romance, Iranian, Indian, Chinese)
| |
| | |
| ==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.
| |
| | |
| Though in-universe Tiberian Hebrew is identical to that in our timeline, some in-universe reading traditions, such as Gaelic Hebrew, distinguish
| |
| * 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. The 3Uþmānic Qur'an text is the same as in our timeline.
| |
| | |
| ==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?
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| 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
