'''Cubrite''' (''Kibri'' /kɪbɹɪ/ or ''núm Kibr'' /niːm kɪbɐ/) is a Canaanite language spoken in the Lõis timeline, spoken by the Cubrites, a minority in the Balkans, Canada and the United States. Standard Cubrite is based on the Kriantoscha (Cubrite ''Krirdox'' /kɹeːˈdɔɧ/ from Ancient Cubrite ''*κarjō ħadasō'' 'new city'; Greek Κριαντόσχα) dialect. Genetic studies have shown that the Cubrites are descendants of Celtic speakers who adopted a Canaanite language. The language descends from a close relative of Biblical Hebrew 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 Cubrites are Greek Orthodox; some (particularly in the Anglosphere) are Muslim, Jewish or neopagan.

It's inspired grammatically by Welsh, and aesthetically by Cockney English, Icelandic and Khmer. Linguist Hrafn Leifsson believes that the similarity between English and Cubrite aesthetics is due to similar Celtic substrates influencing both, English by Brythonic and Cubrite by an old Celtic language of Galatia.
