It is part of the [[w:Proto-North-Rttirrian|North Rttirrian]] branch of the Rttirrian family of languages, and a direct descendant of [[Proto-North-Rttirrian]]. | '''Old Zoki''' (English: /ˈzoʊki/, Old Zoki: ['zoːki], [[w:Burmese language|Burmese]]: [zo˥ki˩]) is the reconstructed common ancestor of [[Zoki]] and a few closely related languages spoken in [[w:Myanmar|Myanmar]], spoken by the Zoki people and other groups around the 15th century CE.

Old Zoki was probably not written, but as modern Zoki is written in the [[w:Burmese script|Burmese]] abugida, linguistic texts and other materials featuring reconstructed Old Zoki typically use this abugida as well. However, because of the recency with which it was spoken, the language's phonology, vocabulary, and grammar are known with a fairly high degree of confidence. | Old Zoki was probably not written, but as modern Zoki is written in the [[w:Burmese script|Burmese]] abugida, linguistic texts and other materials featuring reconstructed Old Zoki typically use this abugida as well.
