==Uchronia== {{main|Uchronia}} In Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, [[Catalan language|Catalan]], and [[Galician language|Galician]], the words ''{{Lang|fr|uchronie}}'', ''{{lang|it|ucronia}}'', and ''{{Lang|es|ucronía}}'' are native versions of ''alternate history'', from which comes the English [[loanword]] ''uchronia''. The English term ''uchronia'' is a [[neologism]] that is sometimes used in its original meaning as a straightforward [[synonym]] for ''alternate history.''<ref>de Sa, Alexandre F. (2012).
