Ancient Tzaloxian/Lexicon

The Tzaloxic languages' are a language family native to Txapoalli. The proto-language is Proto-Tzaloxic (PTz).

Introduction

tuipa = city

Faäni = a name

Classification

Tzaloxian is the proto-language of the Tzaloxic language family. Most Trician scholars believe it's a language isolate, though there are pseudolinguistic theories connecting it to languages of Bjeheond.

Modern Tzaloxic varieties are still spoken in southern Txapoalli though by very few people.

The ancient language is popular among college students and professors in the Talmosphere, many of whom pronounce it with a thick Eevo accent.
