The '''Chlesamnic languages''' are a branch of the Para-Germanic languages in the [[w:Indo-European languages|Indo-European language family]] that are spoken predominantly in [[w:Central Asia|Central Asia]] and [[w:Eastern Europe|Eastern Europe]]. They are thought to descend from a proto-language called Proto-Chlesamnic, an offshoot from Pre-Proto-Germanic, and thus distantly related to the [[w:Germanic languages|Germanic languages]]. | The '''Chlesamnic languages''' are a branch of the Para-Germanic languages in the [[w:Indo-European languages|Indo-European language family]] that are spoken predominantly in [[w:Central Asia|Central Asia]] and [[w:Eastern Europe|Eastern Europe]].

A notable feature of early Chlemsamnic was its susceptibility to be influenced by various [[w:Stratum_(linguistics)#Superstratum|superstrata]], resulting in the various modern Chlesamnic languages to become quite divergent from each other. | |||

Due to their divergent nature, the true number of languages that make up the Chlesamnic family is still under debate. This article aims to show languages that are conventionally agreed upon that make up the four branches of the Chlesamnic languages. These four branches are named on the basis of geography, namely West, East, North, and South Chlesamnic: | |||

Earlier attested languages such as Old Thadish, Old Low Polovic, Ancient Tevvic, and Kolasian have been instrumental to comparative linguistics, as they exhibit many shared features that have been lost or altered in their modern descendants. Using those languages, a number of shared typological features can be identified. | |||
