==Accents==
===The "Sephardi-Estuary-Ashkenazi" continuum===
The Lõisian standard English accent belongs in a continuum of accents, with a quasi-Sephardi Hebrew accent on one end and a quasi-Ashkenazi Hebrew accent on the other end. However, it's been influenced significantly by the nearby Philadelphian accent (spoken in the ancient city of Philadelphia).

====Western accent====
This is the "Western English" accent. When [[L-Hebrew|Hebrew]] is read in this accent, it sounds like Israeli Hebrew with an American accent. It still has some non-Sephardi features, e.g. tsere = FACE = [eɪ] is distinct from segol = DRESS = [ɛ].
The intonation is stereotypical American/Valley Girl.
====L-Philadelphian====
This accent is spoken in both the city of Alaşehir in Turkey (or as locals call it, "Flulfia"), and in Philadelphia, PA (called "New Philadelphia" in Lõis). It's basically a non-rhotic version of our Philly accent; r-intrusion is used, as in the New York accent.
A characteristic feature is ''reinforcement'' for certain vowels or diphthongs before consonants, which changes the pronunciation of the vowel:
*The nucleus is shortened.
*When the consonant is voiced, the offglide is lengthened: ''fame'' [fɪiːm]
*When the consonant is voiceless, the consonant is lengthened: ''face'' [fɪjsː]
/θ ð/ are commonly [t̪ d̪].
====L-Standard English====
Often called the "Newton accent". Also a standard for [[L-Hebrew|English Hebrew]].
A kind of "Transatlantic accent", inspired by Californian + Philly + Modern RP/Estuary.
=====Vowels=====
*orange = [ɒɹɪndʒ~ɔɹɪndʒ]
*Mary [mɛəɹi] ≈ merry [mɛɹi] ≠ marry [maɹi]
*Mirror-nearer distinction
*Hurry-furry distinction
*No mergers before /l/
=====Consonants=====
*L is light [l] before vowels and dark [ɫ] otherwise, as in RP.
**wholly-holy split.
*No glottal reinforcement before stops.
*/p t k/ are unaspirated after stressed syllables as in AmE.
*/d t/ has a tapped [ɾ] allophone in similar environments as in American English.
*wine-whine merger optional.
*/r/ may be [ʋ] between vowels.
====Eastern accent====
When L-English Jews [[L-Hebrew|read Hebrew]] in this accent, it sounds almost exactly like the Ashkenazi accent. Source of "oy vey" (from ''oh woe'' /øɪ vøɪ/)
This is not a specifically Jewish accent, and not all L-English Jews (or even all Ultra-Orthodox Jews) speak it.
*/w/ = [v]
*/l/ is always light
*/r/ = [ʀ~ʁ]
*/s/ = Basque z
*/θ/ = Basque s
*/ð/ = [d]
*Stops are unaspirated

====Poylish====
Traditionally spoken by the Azalic population of Poland. In a dialect continuum with Polish, a close sister language (which is not the same as our timeline's Polish since it's Azalic)
