Proto-Tungric is the hypothetical ancestor of the Tungric languages.

Introduction

Proto-Tungric is the result of taking an Italic base and applying a rough approximation of the PIE to Proto-Germanic sound changes.

The Italic base of Proto-Tungric has the following features:

  • Lacks merger of original /θ, xʷ, f/.
  • Stress similar to Classical Latin.
  • Lacks Classical Latin vowel weakenings.
