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. | 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. | ||

The name of the language family is derived from [[Chlesamnia]] (a historical region centered around Lake Balkhash). The regional designation is derived from Ancient Greek {{l|grc|Χλεσαμνία}}, itself borrowed from either Proto-Chlesamnic or one of its immediate descendants (compare Ancient [UNNAMED] [[File:Ancient Chlesamnia.png|100px|frameless]] /hlesamna/). | |||

This article aims to show languages that are conventionally agreed upon that make up the five branches of the Chlesamnic languages. These five branches are named on the basis of geography, namely West, North, Central, South, and East Chlesamnic: | ||
