'''Knench''' (/nɛntʃ/, from Old Knench ''χnānī'' via Old Azalic ''ngoinisχ''; natively ''Hróni'' /xɹaonɪ/ or ''núm Hrón'' /nɨːm xɹaon/) is a Semitic language spoken in the Irta timeline, spoken by the Knench, a minority in the Maghreb and more common in Canada and the United States. Small Knench-speaking communities exist in Israel as well. The name ''Hróni'' comes from Ancient Knench ''kanaȝnî'' 'Canaanite'. Knench has received strong Azalic influence throughout its history since Ancient Knench times,and genetic studies have shown that the Knench are descendants of Azalic speakers who adopted a Canaanite language. The language descends from a close relative of Biblical Hebrew (a divergent dialect of Phoenician?) which was spoken in Iberia, but its grammar is far more analytic than its ancestor: it was completely restructured to use auxiliaries instead of the older prefix and suffix conjugations, and it is the only Irtan Semitic language that has lost grammatical gender outside of Far East Semitic. Most modern Knench people are Remonitionists; some (particularly in North America and Cualand) are Muslim, Jewish or neopagan.
