The Azzanic languages (Tergetian: sa-brìs Azzàinìne) are a family of consonantal-root languages spoken on the Schrubstiempf , as well as on a set of islands off of the East Wiebian Sea, which includes Tergetian and Rozzino. They are descended from Proto-Azzanic (PAzz).
Origin
The name of the family bears the name of the legendary hero Azzàn, reconstructed as *ʔAzząnų, to whom Tergetians and Rozzinians trace their descent.
Phylogeny
- Western Azzanic
- Primitive Tergetian
- Old Tergetian
- Modern Tergetian
- Hmooby-Doo
- Old Tergetian
- Primitive Tergetian
- Eastern Azzanic
Phylogeny
Phonology
Proto-Azzanic is reconstructed with almost the same phonology as Primitive Tergetian.

Phonotactics
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.
First declension: kullũ 'bird' | ||
---|---|---|
Case | Singular | Plural |
Direct | kullũ | kullek |
Indirect | kullak | kullẽ |
Genitive | kullĩ | kullã |
Second declension: ripʈuk 'throat' | ||
---|---|---|
Case | Singular | Plural |
Direct | ripʈuk | ripʈãk |
Indirect | ripʈaɹ | ripʈũ |
Genitive | ripʈũk | ripʈa |
Third declension: ġattik 'horn' | ||
---|---|---|
Case | Singular | Plural |
Direct | ġattik | ġattẽk |
Indirect | ġatteɹ | ġattĩ |
Genitive | ġattĩp | ġatte |
Verbs
Verbs had an extensive trigger system marked by various binyanim. Verbs also inflected for the tense and subject (the argument in the direct case).
