'''Azalic''' ([[Togarmite]]: ''lysėni Azali''; Proto-Azalic: ''Əngoilin woiq̇'') is an imagined Indo-European branch, intended to serve as an alternate possible [[diachronics of the English language]]. It has a descendant, [[Khuamnisht]], inspired by English and Armenian.
 
The name ''Azalic'' is derived from ''Azal'', a Persian cognate of Əngoil /ˈəngojl/, the legendary mother of the Azalic people (cognate of Ahalyā in Hindu mythology).

The Proto-Azalic Urheimat is believed to be Armenia and Azerbaijan.

''Nota Bene:'' The stops and vowels had a wide variety of dialectal realizations, as in Modern Armenian. Some Proto-Azalic dialects had realizations of the stops that are much closer to Sanskrit; this is reflected in loans from those dialects in English, like ''dream'' <- *troimə (pronounced /drəɨmə/ in the dialect).
 
Vowels: '''e i o u ə é í ó ú oe əɨ eo ou ieu ia ua''' /e i o u ə~ʌ e: i: o: u: oe əɨ eo əu iəu iə uə/ + offglides in -i; allophonic Open Syllable Lengthening
 
 
Reflexes:
*oi > uə
*iH > i:
*ei > oe, sometimes iə
*ē > e:
*e, i > e, i
*uH > eo (u: in some words)
*u > u (needs umlaut)
*ou > əɨ
*eu > əɨ (iəu in some words)
*o > o (needs umlaut)

===Nouns===
Proto-Azalic had a highly eroded case system. The notation (i) denotes "i-umlaut" or a j-offglide on the nucleus.

===Adjectives===
Adjectives were uninflected, because they were split off from adjective-noun compounds.
===Pronouns===
The conjunctive pronouns were used as pronominal subjects in unmarked sentences. The disjunctive pronouns were used as direct, indirect or prepositional objects and in sentences such as:
*''It est mé'' "It's me".
*''ne jú'' 'not you'
*''Mé, iċ oil chuamə.'' 'Me, I'm going home.'

===Verbs===
-eh2ti > -ə; -yeti, -eyeti > (i)-ə
 
The original PIE personal affixes were lost. When the subject was nominal singular, "he", "she" or "it", the suffix ''-se'' (from PIE *swe) was required for verbal agreement. The 2sg and 3sg distal pronouns were number neutral so they didn't take ''-se''.
 
The different forms were:
*Imperative (source of English imperative): non-past without any endings
*Nonpast (the source of the English present): e-grade or otherwise the unmarked form of the verb
*Past: PIE reduplicated perfect or root aorist
*Irrealis (source of the English subjunctive, including ''were''): sigmatic future.
*Stative (the source of the English past): a tenseless form like the Akkadian stative. Originally a deverbal noun; formed with the o-grade (deriving nouns in PIE) for strongs, -ṫ from -tús (with random voicing) for weaks, (i)-ə from -ih2 for semistrongs. It was not a true finite verb form so it didn't take ''-se''.
**Some modal verbs in English, such as ''can, will, shall, may, must, ought'', come from statives and thus are called stative-present verbs.
*Active participle: -ənt
**''-ənt-qhe'' became the present progressive ''-ing'' in English.
*Passive participle (source of English past participle): zero-grade with -n from -nós, or -dh from -tós
 
Proto-Azalic had at least three distinct verb paradigms:
*The weak verbs became the English weaks
*The strong verbs became the non-class 7 strongs in English (e.g. ''bind'')
*The semistrong verbs became the class 7 strongs such as ''fall, hold, grow, know''

|}
 
==Syntax==
===Constituent order===
*SVO, VSO in questions or for emphasis
*Prepositions over postpositions
*Adjectives and genitives before nouns; relative clauses after nouns.
*No accusative-infinitive
 
The English accusative and infinitive construction doesn't come from PAzal; it is a result of substrate influence from Mixolydian.
