Ishokan (Išokan dinżvé) is an Indo-European language in the Ishokanic language family (Išokanik famílja dinżvé). During the breakup of PIE in my alternate history, Ishokanic developed and Albanian and Armenian never existed.
Since Armenian never existed, its alphabet never existed, but the Ishokan people were still taught how to write by the Greeks, and they created their own alphabet.

Impressive
lets see paul allens
On the way back to my apartment I stop at D’Agostino’s, where for dinner I buy two large bottles of Perrier, a six-pack of Coke Classic, a head of arugula, five medium-sized kiwis, a bottle of tarragon balsamic vinegar, a tin of crême fraiche, a carton of microwave tapas, a box of tofu and a white-chocolate candy bar I pick up at the checkout counter. ___ ^(*Bot.

nice
I'd love to see a sample text sometime
In the 5 minutes of your day! That would be a great place for it.
Reminds me of [a sketch I did a few years ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/conlangs/comments/6e1hdx/evis_ha%C4%8D%C5%8Ds_ka_an_introduction_to_tiy%C5%8Dxi_an/)!
Respect for being able to do anything with PIE
Great job . Will there be any more in depth vocabulary for this language?
I like it!
Awesome!!!
