'''Proto-Talmic''' is a descendant of [[Proto-Quihum]] and the last common ancestor of all [[Talmic languages]] (including [[Thensarian]], [[Tíogall]], [[Nurian]], [[Rostherian]], ...). It was a fusional, head-initial language with a number system consisting of singulative, collective and plurative numbers.

The '''Talmic languages''' (/ˈtɑːlmɪk/ ''TAHL-mik'') are a subfamily of the [[Quame languages]], originally spoken chiefly in the [[Bitaleta]] region in the planet of [[Verse:Tricin|Tricin]].


Some sound changes from [[Proto-Quihum]]:
* PET
*Early rhotacization: lʼ, nʼ, yʼ > r
** Talmic
*''y'' > ''h''? (get PTal *j from other sources)
*** [[Tigol]]
*Ejectives become voiced stops:
**** [[Eevo]]
**cʼ z > z
**** [[Anbirese]]
**ƛʼ λ > ɮ
**** Ciètian
**qʼ qʷʼ > ɢ ɢʷ > ʁ ʁʷ
 
*xʷ > w (at least word initially before a vowel; also in [[Proto-Pfeunic]])
== Syntax ==
*ƛ > t
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.
*Late rhotacization: z > r (s in unvoiced environments)
 
*lenition of p > φ
== Morphology ==
*Cluster simplifications
Pre-Tigol should keep the most inflections out of the Quame branches, so it was the worst language to Old Irishify
*tk, tq > rk, rq
 
*pt-, kt-, qt- > φl-, kl-, ql-
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.
 
==Todo==
*''-nəm'' = patientive
*''sθan-'' = gather
**''sθannəm'' = gathering
***Skellan ''sdann'' = (''mathematics'') set
**~ ''sta-'' in ''stāmom''?
 
*add 0 grade, lengthened grade.
**''-ssōs'' = another noun suffix
** 0 grade often > ə-grade but Cl, Cr > Cli-, Cri-
**lengthened grades: ā ī ū > ó ī ū

==Morphology==
Proto-Talmic needs "ingredients" for Roshterian polysynthesis.
===Nouns===
Proto-Talmic has innovated a sex-based gender system with masculine, feminine, and neuter genders:
 
# Proto-Quihum had a gender system of common and neuter genders, and also had an honorific distinction which required agreement in verbs and adjectives.
# In Pre-Talmic, the honorific developed into its own gender, often being used for big, sacred, specialized, or abstract things, in addition to people of high social status.
# The word for "lady", ''kamynas'', became the normal word for "woman" (like how ''Frau'' became the normal word for woman in German).
# Thus, the former honorific agreement analogized to all women.

Some derivational affixes are:
Root ablaut occurs in some stems in verbs and derived nouns. Ablauting verbs follow one of the patterns below (modulo compensatory lengthening); the present stem is in what is called the "''a''-grade" in Quihum linguistics, and the preterite stem has the "''i''-grade". (Also cf. [[Ancient Wiebian]].)

Eta-Talmic/Lexicon
Eta-Talmic/Swadesh list

The Talmic languages (/ˈtɑːlmɪk/ TAHL-mik) are a subfamily of the Quame languages, originally spoken chiefly in the Bitaleta region in the planet of Tricin.

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.

Derivational morphology

  • -ā- = verbalizer (from *-əx̌-; just for the Proto-Celtic gibbiness)
    • What if *-əx̌- meant something else in PQuih?
    • Roshterian -ia-/-i- - fossilized suffix in many verbs
  • -ākos (n.) = verbal noun (from *-əx̌- verbalizer + *-kas = older VN suffix)
    • Roshterian -iac
  • -akt(V)- = adjectivizer
    • Roshterian -ait

Ablaut patterns

Syntax

The emphatic particle *-is was commonly suffixed to the verb.
