The Dọrêmì languages are a language family of polysyllabic, predominantly agglutinative tonal languages mostly native to Angai Southeast Asia. It has two subbranches corresponding to different syllable shapes, called the Dọ branch and the Ùt branch in Dọrêmì linguistics from the words for '0'. Proto-Dọrêmì was a polysyllabized monosyllabic tonal analytic language with many homophonous morphemes, much like Mandarin.
Numbers are (from 0) dọ, rê, mì, fā, sỏ, lá, ti, tirê, timì, tifā, tisỏ, tilá, mìti, mìtirê, mìtimì, mìtifā, mìtisỏ, mìtilá, fāti, ... in one language (from *Rot zhe mei pat sau leng ti...)
