| 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''').

| ===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.

| | |
| ===Phonotactics===
| |
| | |
| ==Morphology==
| |
| Proto-Azzanic had Philippine alignment as does Rozzino and ʔAškāsīnių. Verb-initial clauses were the norm as in Semitic and Austronesian languages. [[Primitive Tergetian]] had changed this alignment into a nominative-accusative system.
| |
| ===Nouns===
| |
| Nouns and adjectives declined for three cases: direct, indirect and genitive.
