'''~~Angai~~''' (/~~ˈɑːŋgaɪ~~/ ~~from Aíkaì~~ ''~~Ānka{{cdb}}ì'' /a⁵{{ng}}³ka¹i²/~~) is an alternate history Earth setting ~~dominated~~ by ~~highly tonal languages~~.

'''Mwail''' (/mʷail/ [mʷaiɬ], Ernish for 'world, Earth') is an alternate history Earth setting being created by Inthar and Praveen. (The point of divergence from our timeline is some point between the emergence of modern humans and Out of Africa, so we still have all Earth species including humans, but today's human languages are from completely different families)

== Team ==

* Inthar: ~~Timeline 1~~, ~~mainly Thean language~~, ~~history~~, ~~and culture~~

* Inthar: Ernish, Proto-Erno-Kawenic

== Calendar ==

The calendar used is the Mwail Enlightenment calendar, where year 0 corresponds to the year when the number 0 was invented in Mwail India.

Out-of-universe, it was arbitrarily decided so that 2025 is sociopolitically similar to our CE 2025.
