'''Azalic''' ([[Togarmite]]: ''lysėni Azali''; Proto-Azalic: ''Əngoilin woiq̇'') is an imagined Indo-European branch, intended to serve as an alternate possible [[Azalic/English|diachronics of the English language]]. To make it impossible for Azalic to evolve into any Germanic language other than English, it emphasizes specifically English sound changes within Germanic, while minimizing shared innovations with Proto-Germanic.


The name ''Azalic'' is derived from ''Åzalaa'', a Hivantish cognate of Əngoil /ˈəngojl/, the legendary mother of the Azalic people (meaning "The Unploughed"; cognate of Ahalyā in Hindu mythology). Like in our timeline, English was the lingua franca of a huge part of the world, but unlike in our timeline, this resulted in English being the most conservative language in the Azalic branch. This is due to Proto-Azalic already having undergone morphological simplifications from PIE, to the point where it's almost as analytic as English. Other descendants have changed a lot more and have various typologies, including innovated gender systems, agglutinating morphology and even predicate-first syntax.
