The '''Azzanic languages''' (Tergetian: ''sa-brìs Azzàinìne'') are a family of consonantal-root languages spoken on the Wiebian subcontinent, as well as on a set of islands off of the North Wiebian Sea, including [[Tergetian]] and [[Rozzino]]. They are descended from '''Proto-Azzanic''' ('''PAzz''').
==Nouns==
*''sóol'' = house, home
*''tráat' '' = flower
*''bíne' '' = water
*''sreg'' = words, speech, language
*''aak'é'e'' = sky
*''laá'' = light
*''kár'' = flatbread
*''nerás'' = coffee
*''laánt'ob'' = coconut milk
*''jeneé'' = nut butter or coconut oil
*'''ésjol'' = but
==Adjectives==
*''dro' '' = low
*''adítool'' = high
*''so-'' = good
*'' 'áa'weh'' = bad


==Origin==
==Verbs==
The name of the family bears the name of the legendary hero Azzàn, reconstructed as {{recon|ʔAzząnų}}, to whom Tergetians and Rozzinians trace their descent.
*''-dá'' = 'to know'
 
*''-so'' = 'good'
==Phylogeny==
*''-goól'' = 'to fly'
*Western Azzanic
*''-le'' = 'to say'
**[[Old Tergetian]]
*''-drój'' = 'to love'
***Modern [[Tergetian]]
*''-béh'' = 'free'
***hyper-Terg?
*Eastern Azzanic
**[[Rozzino]]
 
==Phylogeny==
==Phonology==
Proto-Azzanic is reconstructed with almost the same phonology as [[Primitive Tergetian]].

===Suprasegmentals===
Stress fell on the first heavy (CVː or CVC) syllable (the last syllable was disregarded); in the absence of a heavy syllable, the stress fell on the first syllable.

==Morphology==
Proto-Azzanic had Philippine alignment as does Rozzino. Verb-initial clauses were the norm as in Semitic and Austronesian languages.
===Nouns===
Nouns and adjectives declined for three cases: direct, indirect and genitive.
