'''Crannish''' (''Krani'' /kɹanɪ/ or ''núm Kran'' /nɨːm kɹan/) is a Semitic language spoken in the Lõis timeline, spoken by the Crannishs, a minority in the British Isles and France and more common in Canada and the United States. <!--Standard Crannish is based on the Criadosch (Crannish ''Krirdox'' /kɹeːˈdɔɧ/ from Ancient Crannish ''*κarjō ħadasō'' 'new city') dialect. -->Genetic studies have shown that the Crannishs are descendants of Celtic speakers who adopted a Canaanite language. The language descends from a close relative of Biblical Hebrew which was spoken in North Africa and preserves quite a few quasi-Biblical Hebrew words and phrases, 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 Lõisian Semitic language that has lost grammatical gender outside of Far East Semitic. Most modern Crannishs are Catholic; some (particularly in North America) are Muslim, Jewish or neopagan.
