'''Proto-Trans-Sarnathian''' was spoken 3000-4000 years BP. The family is inspired by Sino-Tibetan and Athabaskan.
Fortunately for [[Verse:Angai|Angai]]an historical linguists, extremely conservative relatives of Thean within the Trans-Sarnathian branch are spoken in highly mountainous areas. They allow much of Proto-Trans-Sarnathian to be reconstructed.
(Proto-languages are reconstructed in-universe, but this article takes the [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WordOfGod Word of God] point of view unless specified otherwise. In particular, only in-universe reconstructions are indicated with an asterisk.)
