| '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is the the ancestor of all living [[Talmic languages]]. It is inspired aesthetically by Proto-Celtic and Latin, grammatically by Hebrew, Ancient Greek and Native American languages. | | == Syntax == |
| | Although all present-day Talmic languages are rigidly head-initial, like Irish, Welsh and Southeast Asian languages, Proto-Talmic was much less so; we know this because different constructions and function words (such as prepositions and verbal morphology) fossilized in each Talmic subbranch. |
| | |
| | == Morphology == |
| | Pre-Tigol should keep the most inflections out of the Quame branches, so it was the worst language to Old Irishify |
| | |
| | Proto-Talmic also had no inclusive vs exclusive we distinction; Tigolic and Qazhric gained the distinction under the influence of Lakovic. |
| | |
| | ==History of Talmic studies== |
| | ===History of the term=== |
| | The Talmic family was referred to as the "''Kwēm'' languages" (Scellan: ''brits Cłeem'') in earlier Talman works, after the Thensarian word ''cēm'' for "one" inherited in all known Talmic languages at the time. Since contact with other Quihum languages such as [[Naquian]], the term Quame is used for the family that includes Talmic and Naquian. |

| The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' (/θɛmˈsɑɹiən/) '''language''' ({{PAGENAME}}: ''gaθuem θensārimem'' "the {{PAGENAME}} throat") is a language classified into an [[Talmic languages|isolated subbranch]] of the [[Raxo-Talmic languages|Raxo-Talmic]] language family, along with other para-{{PAGENAME}} languages which are/were natively spoken in the peninsula of Tálsym in the northwestern part of the Gameda subcontinent. The language remains clearly related to its continental relatives such as [[Naquian]] (It is often said that {{PAGENAME}} uses the same affixes as Raxic with different meanings); however, due to its long period of isolation and substrate influence (the substrate is sometimes speculated to have been a head-initial polysynthetic language), {{PAGENAME}} was a typological and lexical outlier in the larger family, within which it was distinguished by its heavily head-marking inflection in both clauses and possessive NPs as well as its strongly head-initial syntax and and its verb system approaching polysynthetic languages in complexity. The name of the {{PAGENAME}} language comes from the Thensár region, from whose dialect arose the prestige language of the Andaegōr Empire. This elevated register/lect existed in a state of diglossia with the vernacular "dialects", diverse and often mutually unintelligible but still quite similar at this time. The prestige language described in this article, called Noble {{PAGENAME}} (''themsārimem ħentem''), was used as a living language by the ruling class for a period spanning 600 years until its demise in the year ca. 220 v.c., and was continued to be used as an important literary, academic and religious language on the peninsula and surrounding mainland areas.

| ==Orthography== | |
| [[Image:Ŧā́thimā́ script.jpg|right|thumb|{{PAGENAME}} runic script.|240px]]
| |
| | |
| The standardized {{PAGENAME}} alphabet, whose variants are also used to write other Talmic languages, is a native alphabetic script consisting of consonant and vowel letters in addition to diacritics for vowel length.
| |
| | |
| The alphabetical order is as follows:
| |
| #'''R:'''
| |
| #'''D:'''
| |
| #'''Z:'''
| |
| #'''I:'''
| |
| #'''Γ:'''
| |
| #'''A:'''
| |
| #'''Ħ:'''
| |
| #'''F:'''
| |
| #'''M:'''
| |
| #'''L:'''
| |
| #'''G:'''
| |
| #'''C:'''
| |
| #'''H:'''
| |
| #'''B:'''
| |
| #'''S:'''
| |
| #'''V:'''
| |
| #'''O:'''
| |
| #'''J:'''
| |
| #'''Ȝ:'''
| |
| #'''Δ:'''
| |
| #'''Y:'''
| |
| #'''Χ:'''
| |
| #'''T:'''
| |
| #'''N:'''
| |
| #'''Θ:'''
| |
| #'''P:'''
| |
| #'''E:'''
| |
| #'''U:'''
| |
| | |
| ==Morphology==
| |
| ===Verbs===
| |
| The verbal system is one of the most complex aspects of {{PAGENAME}} grammar. A verb can take many affixes which are arranged in the following template:
| |
|
| |
|
| #switch-reference marker
| |
| #applicative or derivational prefixes
| |
| #object prefix
| |
| #(prefix or reduplication for some TAMs)
| |
| #'''STEM'''
| |
| #voice suffix
| |
| #TAM + subject
| |
| #emphatic suffix ''-is''
| |
|
| |
| Verbs often take an emphatic suffix or clitic ''-is'', which is more often used with affirmative statements than negative statements.
| |
|
| |
| ====TAM + subject markers====
| |
| Thensarian verbs are conjugated in present, imperfect, preterite, future, perfect, and pluperfect tenses; indicative, subjunctive, optative and imperative moods; and active and passive voices.
| |
|
| |
| *Consonant stems: (-y-)
| |
| *Vowel stems: -a-, -e-, -i-, -o/u-?
