| '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is the the ancestor of most living [[Talmic languages]], including [[Tígeł]] and [[Nurian]]. It is inspired aesthetically by Proto-Celtic, Latin and Arabic, and grammatically by Semitic, Ancient Greek and Native American languages.

| ;Notes
| |
| *Voiceless plosives /p t k/ are lightly aspirated in syllable onsets.
| |
| */r/ is a postalveolar trill [r̠] or tap [ɾ̠].
| |
| */l/ is dental [l̪].
| |
| */p, z/ are not native phonemes, only occurring in Netagin or Clofabic borrowings; [z] does occur as an allophone of /s/ in /sb, sd, sg/.
| |
| */ʕ/ is either a pharyngeal plosive [ʡ] or an epiglottal approximant [ʕ]. The first realization is more common word-initially.
| |
|
| |
| ===Vowels===
| |
| Classical {{PAGENAME}} has a six-vowel system with a quantity distinction.

| |
| ==Orthography==
| |
|
| |
| The standardized {{PAGENAME}} alphabet, whose variants are also used to write other Talmic languages, is a native alphabetic script consisting of consonant and vowel letters in addition to diacritics for vowel length.
| |
|
| |
| The alphabetical order is as follows:
| |
| #'''R:'''
| |
| #'''D:'''
| |
| #'''Z:'''
| |
| #'''I:'''
| |
| #'''A:'''
| |
| #'''Ħ:'''
| |
| #'''F:'''
| |
| #'''M:'''
| |
| #'''L:'''
| |
| #'''G:'''
| |
| #'''C:'''
| |
| #'''H:'''
| |
| #'''B:'''
| |
| #'''S:'''
| |
| #'''V:'''
| |
| #'''O:'''
| |
| #'''J:'''
| |
| #'''Ȝ:'''
| |
| #'''Δ:'''

| #'''Y:'''

| |
| |}
| |
|
| |
| ====Possessive suffixes====
| |
|
| |
| ===Verbs===
| |
| The verbal system is one of the most complex aspects of {{PAGENAME}} grammar. A verb can take many affixes which are arranged in the following template:
| |
|
| |
| #switch-reference marker
| |
| #applicative or derivational prefixes
| |
| #object prefix
| |
| #(prefix or reduplication for some TAMs)
| |
| #'''STEM'''
| |
| #voice suffix
| |
| #TAM + subject
| |
| #emphatic suffix ''-is''
| |
|
| |
| Verbs often take an emphatic suffix or clitic ''-is'', which is more often used with affirmative statements than negative statements.
| |
|
| |
| ====Object markers====
| |
| *1sg: ''ni-''
| |
| *2sg: ''ri-''
| |
| *3sg: ''bi-''
| |
| *1pl.ex: ''mē-''
| |
| *1pl.ex: ''dē-''
| |
| *2pl: ''sē-''
| |
| *3pl: ''nē-''
| |
|
| |
| ====TAM + subject markers====
| |
| Thensarian verbs are conjugated in present, imperfect, preterite, future, perfect, and pluperfect tenses; indicative, subjunctive, optative and imperative moods; and active and passive voices.
| |
|
| |
| *Consonant stems: (-y-)
| |
| *Vowel stems: -a-, -e-, -i-, -o/u-?
| |
|
| |
| The emphatic marker is usually added to declarative verbs when there is no preverbal particle:
| |
| *''cafsyn'''is''''' = I eat
| |
| *''tir cafsyn'' = I do not eat
| |
| =====Present=====
| |
| ''toren'' = 'I flourish'
| |
|
