| '''Proto-Talmic''' is a descendant of [[Proto-Quihum]] and the last common ancestor of all Talmic languages (including [[Thensarian]], [[Tíogall]], [[Nurian]], [[Roshterian]], ...). It was a fusional, head-initial language with a number system consisting of singulative, collective and plurative numbers. | | {{construction}} |

| *Early rhotacization: lʼ, nʼ, yʼ > r | | The '''Talmic languages''' (/ˈtɑːlmɪk/ ''TAHL-mik'') are a subfamily of the [[Quame languages]], originally spoken chiefly in the [[Bitaleta]] region in the planet of [[Verse:Tricin|Tricin]]. |
| *Ejectives become voiced stops: | | |
| **cʼ z > z | | * PET |
| **ƛʼ λ > ɮ | | ** Talmic |
| **qʼ qʷʼ > ɢ ɢʷ > ʁ ʁʷ | | *** [[Tigol]] |
| *xʷ > w word initially before a vowel | | **** [[Eevo]] |
| *ƛ > t | | **** [[Anbirese]] |
| *Late rhotacization: z > r (s in unvoiced environments) | | **** Ciètian |
| *lenition of p > φ | | |
| *Cluster simplifications
| | == Syntax == |
| *tk, tq > rk, rq
| | 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. |
| | |
| | == Morphology == |
| | Pre-Tigol should keep the most inflections out of the Quame branches, so it was the worst language to Old Irishify |
| | |
| | Proto-Talmic also had no inclusive vs exclusive we distinction; Tigolic and Qazhric gained the distinction under the influence of Lakovic. |
| | |
| | ==History of Talmic studies== |
| | ===History of the term=== |
| | 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. |

| | *''-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'' |
