Proto-Pulchric is one of the major proto-languages of Tricin and also one of the best reconstructed. Its main inspirations are Proto-Austronesian and PIE.
Phonology
Proto-Pulchric has six vowels: a e i o u ə, and the following consonants:
- stops: p t ṭ k q b d ḍ g
- fricatives: f v s z S h
- resonants: m n N ŋ l r L w y
The exact realizations of S L N are not fully known in universe; the linguist Cimaterol Pradaxa reconstructed them as retroflexes, which is consistent with the Proto-Pulchric reflexes but data from Crockartoot, discovered much later, hints that these could have been palatal instead. This theory is also borne by phonotactics -- s l n do not turn into S L N before retroflex consonants, as in malṭə (presumably /maɭʈə/) "bone".
