| ==Characteristics==
| | * PET |
| The historical Talmic languages have all shared the following characteristics to some extent:
| | ** Talmic |
| *conversion of a former case system into a system of state distinctions (e.g. definiteness, possessedness, predicative/attributive, generic/specific) | | *** [[Tigol]] |
| *rigidly head-initial word order | | **** [[Eevo]] |
| **verb-initial clauses; modern Talmic languages are topic-prominent and thus have V2 independent clauses and verb-initial dependent clauses. | | **** [[Anbirese]] |
| *heavy grammatical use of pronominal suffixes/enclitics on possessed nouns, verbs and prepositions, that index their dependents | | **** Ciètian |
| **some descendants eventually creep toward being polysynthetic, supplanting former finite verbs with possessed infinitives/participles of complex compound verbs, and predicative nouns | |
| *[[w:Differential object marking|differential]] indexing of the direct object and the possessor, and occasionally the prepositional object | |
| *grammatical apophony (tonal, vocalic or consonantal) | |
| *word order changes for topicalization and focusing | |
| *More recent Talmic languages have honorific systems developed from abstract nouns in the feminine gender. Therefore former feminine pronouns and verbs develop into honorific markers. | |
|
| |
|
| Characteristic phylogenetic innovations vis-à-vis Zachydic include:
| | == Syntax == |
| *prominence of tense rather than aspect in verbal TAM, unlike in mainland Zachydic languages.
| | Although all present-day Talmic languages are rigidly head-initial, like Irish, Welsh and Southeast Asian languages, Proto-Talmic was much less so; we know this because different constructions and function words (such as prepositions and verbal morphology) fossilized in each Talmic subbranch. |
| *Rhotacization of /*z/ to /*r/ / V_V and V_#, and secondary rhotacization (often before consonants, the choice of which depends on the language).
| |
| *Development of Proto-Zachydic ejective stops into spirants.
| |
| *Conflation of non-labialized and labialized dorsal stops, and preservation of the velar-uvular distinction.
| |
| **Also common is the transition of the uvular series into the radical series; uvulars are still found in some phonetically conservative languages and dialects, however.
| |
| *The shift of ''*s'' into ''*h'' and subsequent assibilation of affricates occuring after primary rhotacization (/*cʼ, *c/ > /*s/, /*ʒ/ > /*z/ etc.) greatly reduces the consonant inventory; this also contributes to the fricative-rich flavor of Talmic.
| |
| *Some metathesis occurred too.

| ==Proto-Talmic phonology== | | == Morphology == |
| *qʷ ɢʷ qʷ' > q ɢ q' | | Pre-Tigol should keep the most inflections out of the Quame branches, so it was the worst language to Old Irishify |
| *p' t' c' ƛ' k' kʷ' q' qʷ' > f þ s ł x xʷ χ χ | | |
| *s > h | | Proto-Talmic also had no inclusive vs exclusive we distinction; Tigolic and Qazhric gained the distinction under the influence of Lakovic. |

| ===Consonant inventory=== | | The Talmic family was referred to as the "''Kwēm'' languages" (Scellan: ''brits Cłeem'') in earlier Talman works, after the Thensarian word ''cēm'' for "one" inherited in all known Talmic languages at the time. Since contact with other Quihum languages such as [[Naquian]], the term Quame is used for the family that includes Talmic and Naquian. |

| ==Proto-Talmic morphology==
| |
| ===Nominal morphology===
| |
| Nouns and adjectives had retained from Proto-Zachydic 6 cases (nominative, accusative, genitive/prepositional, allative, ablative, locative/instrumental), 3 numbers, 2 genders (masculine, feminine), and additionally possessive inflection for nouns. Like its daughter languages as well as Proto-Zachydic, Common Talmic is thought to have been a [[w:differential object marking|differential object marking]] language; only definite or specific direct objects were marked with the accusative case.
| |
| | |
| The essive case (''*-ēri'') was marginal, and was only used adverbially (cf. Th. ''-ēr'' adverbial suffix).
| |
| | |
| Some nouns took the "thematic" suffix/clitic ''*-ʔ'' with an uncertain meaning, a holdover from the classifier system in Proto-Zachydic.
| |
| | |
| ===Pronominal morphology===
| |
| Proto-Talmic free pronouns can be reconstructed with less confidence because all case marking except as clitics and suffixes was eliminated.
| |
| ====Full personal pronouns====
| |
| | |
| ====Possessive suffixes====
| |
| | |
| ===Verbal morphology===
| |
| ====Tense====
| |
| The Proto-Talmic verbal system has converted the pre-existing aspect-based perfective/imperfective dichotomy into a time-based one (past/non-past). The irregularity of the past system is probably a result of conflation of many different parent aspect systems.
| |
| ====Aspect====
| |
| The following aspect suffixes can be reconstructed:
| |
| *prospective ''*-eh-''
| |
| *inceptive ''*-lʁa-''
| |
| *cessative ''*-mbe-''
| |
| | |
| ====Mood====
| |
| Proto-Talmic has kept many moods intact (imperative, desiderative, hortative, optative). The negative imperative used the prohibitive particle along with the hortative form, as in Proto-Zachydic. The moods are frequently collapsed by its progeny (e.g. jussive in Themsaran).
| |
| | |
| ====Thematic suffixes====
| |
| Proto-Talmic saw the development of thematic vowels from derivational suffixes. Thematic vowels are found in many Talmic languages, but modern languages often generalize the ''a''-paradigm to the expense of the others.
| |
| *''*-īn'': basic verbs
| |
| *''*-a-īn'': denominative or transitive verbs
| |
| *''*-e-īn'': dynamic or reflexive verbs
| |
| | |
| ====TAM/subject affix paradigm====
| |
| Todo: rederive past tense... they don't look like they could (all) be perfective suffixes.

| |
| Other reconstructible affixes include:
| |
| | |
| *''*-pe-'' potential (e.g. Thm. ''tacvéi'' 'know (a fact)' < ''tak-pe-īn'' 'be able to say')
| |
| *''*-re-'' passive
| |
| *''*-ina-'' causative, i.e. supply sb with sth to [verb]/a patient of [verb]
| |
| *''*-ska-'' causative
| |
| *''*az-'', "towards" directional prefix.
| |
| *the memory evidential prefix ''*ʔṇʔ-''.
| |
| | |
| ==Proto-Talmic syntax==
| |
| Basic word order was most likely SVO, as evinced by the order {{sc|verb-object suffix}} in all daughter languages.

| | *''-ā-'' = verbalizer (from ''*-əx̌-''; just for the Proto-Celtic gibbiness) |
| | **What if ''*-əx̌-'' meant something else in PQuih? |
| | **Roshterian ''-ia-/-i-'' - fossilized suffix in many verbs |
| | *''-ākos'' (n.) = verbal noun (from ''*-əx̌-'' verbalizer + ''*-kas'' = older VN suffix) |
| | **Roshterian ''-iac'' |
| | *''-akt(V)-'' = adjectivizer |
| | **Roshterian ''-ait'' |
