	Around 1300 Irtan Parisian French started evolving very rapidly, around the fifteenth century it had a similar aesthetic to our timeline's Modern French. Around the seventeenth century there was another huge series of sound shifts (including a chain shift l -> r -> h, vowel shifts and Havlik's law) as well as grammatical shifts due to the loss of prestige of Literary French in Irta. Today's Hyperfrench is a quasi-polysynthetic language with clitic complexes and bipersonal agreement, very unusual for Indo-European.
