'''Nanyse''', also called Lax-An or Ancestor's Tongue, is an old and dead language of the Dumun, the result of the melding of the Proto-Afroasiatic and Proto-Indoeuropean languages due to the enslavement of their speakers by the Byluza. Although it is no longer spoken, this language was the platform that the four current languages of the Dumun were built upon. A small, yet growing, movement has begun among the Jara to breathe new life into the language, but otherwise it is known only to scholars and historians.
'''Nanyse''' is a term which represents the full history of the cultures and languages of those (Humans) which reside in (the Void). An archaic word with origins in Lax An, it was first thought to mean language, but is now believed to mean oral history and traditions. The languages it encompasses are as follows:


----
=[[Lax An]]=
The Lax-An language (LA) is the linguistic reconstruction of a common ancestor of the first language spoken by those (Humans) first brought into (the Void). Scholars hypothesize that LA was the result of a merging of Proto-Indo-European and Proto-Afro-Asiatic languages and estimate that it was spoken as a simple language until (year) (era)
Translating directly to Ancestor's Tongue, Lax An is an old, dead language thought to be the first fully developed language used by (Humans) in (the Void)and is now widely thought of as the proto language that led to the development of each of the four languages spoken by (Humans) today.

Scholars estimate that PIE may have been spoken as a single language (before divergence began) around 3500 BC, though estimates by different authorities can vary by more than a millennium. The most popular hypothesis for the origin and spread of the language is the Kurgan hypothesis, which postulates an origin in the Pontic-Caspian steppe of Eastern Europe.
==(Proto Dev-Merc-Polit)==


The existence of PIE was first postulated in the 18th century by Sir William Jones, who observed the similarities between Sanskrit, Ancient Greek, and Latin. By the early 20th century, well-defined descriptions of PIE had been developed that are still accepted today (with some refinements). The largest developments of the 20th century have been the discovery of Anatolian and Tocharian languages and the acceptance of the laryngeal theory. The Anatolian languages have also spurred a major re-evaluation of theories concerning the development of various shared Indo-European language features and the extent to which these features were present in PIE itself.


PIE is thought to have had a complex system of morphology that included inflections (suffixing of roots, as in who, whom, whose), and ablaut (vowel alterations, as in sing, sang, sung). Nouns used a sophisticated system of declension and verbs used a similarly sophisticated system of conjugation.
===(Pre Merc)===


Relationships to other language families, including the Uralic languages, have been proposed but remain controversial.


There is no written evidence of Proto-Indo-European, so all knowledge of the language is derived by reconstruction from later languages using linguistic techniques such as the comparative method and the method of internal reconstruction.

==Phonology==


===(Proto Dev-Polit)===


PAA
a six-vowel system which consists of short /a/, /i/, /u/ and long /aa/, /ii/, /uu/;
voiced and voiceless pharyngeal fricatives;
a glottal stop that is used to distinguish word meaning;
a three-way contrast between voiced, voiceless, and emphatic consonants which may be realized as velarized, glottalized, pharyngealized, ejective, orimplosive.
use of semivowels /w/ and /j/ in the role of consonants.


PIE
====(Dev)====
Labiovelar consonants include [kw, gw, xw, ngw] which are pronounced like [k, g, x, ng] but with rounded lips.
Velars are consonants articulated with the back part of the tongue (the dorsum) against the soft palate (the back part of the roof of the mouth, known also as the velum). They include [k, g, x, ng].
Palatovelar consonants are articulated with the back part of the tongue against the hard palate. They include [k', g', x', ng']. For example, [k'] is pronounced as the k in keen.

Nanyse is a term which represents the full history of the cultures and languages of those (Humans) which reside in (the Void). An archaic word with origins in Lax An, it was first thought to mean language, but is now believed to mean oral history and traditions. The languages it encompasses are as follows:

Lax An

Translating directly to Ancestor's Tongue, Lax An is an old, dead language thought to be the first fully developed language used by (Humans) in (the Void)and is now widely thought of as the proto language that led to the development of each of the four languages spoken by (Humans) today.
