| '''{{PAGENAME}}''' (''gaθwai θensārimai'') is an ancient Talmic language and the ancestor of most living [[Talmic languages]], including [[Skellan]], [[Anbirese]], [[Nurian]] and [[Qazhrian]]. It is inspired by Proto-Celtic, Latin, High Valyrian, and Welsh. Important texts in Thensarian include the ''Avorasloeδūn'' (tentative, from avor-as-loeδ- meaning "comprehensively gather"; the collection did NOT originally have a name, the name was given by later Talman religious operatives), a collection of various texts such as ancient Talmic prose myths, wisdom literature, poetry and early scientific texts, which is a seminal text for modern Talman religions.

| ;Notes
| |
| *Voiceless plosives /p t k/ are lightly aspirated in syllable onsets but are unaspirated after /s/. They're always unaspirated in certain areas.
| |
| *[ŋ] occurs as an allophone of /n/ before velars /k, g/.
| |
| */r/ is an alveolar trill [r] or tap [ɾ].
| |
| */l/ is dental [l̪].
| |
| *[z] occurs as an allophone of /s/ in /sb, sd, sg/.
| |
| */ʕ/ is either a radical plosive [ʡ] or a radical approximant [ʕ]. The first realization is more common word-initially.

| |
| ==Morphology==
| |
| :''Main article: [[Thensarian/Morphology]]''
| |
|
| |
| ==Syntax==
| |
| Like many of its descendants, Thensarian is almost completely head-initial (except for compounds).
| |
| ===Constituent order===
| |
| ===Noun phrase===
| |
| ===Verb phrase===
| |
| ===Sentence phrase===
| |
| ===Dependent clauses===
| |
| ''Sequences of tenses'' are important in Thensarian grammar. The mood of a verb sometimes serves the same functions of subordinating conjunctions in English such as ''if''. Sometimes it is erroneously said that Thensarian has no word for ''if''; conjunctions meaning "if" exist (''φīs'', etc.) but they are not mandatory.

|
| |
| ==Example texts==
| |
| *Early Thensarian: ''Stamāber (-bris) glādōm gnovilatlom'' = The gods accepted the sacrifice.
| |
| *Primitive Tigol: ''Φēsvrostamāber glāduom gnovilatlom''
