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).
Origin
The Azzanic languages bear the name of the legendary hero Azzàn, reconstructed as *ʔAzzānum, to whom Tergetians and Rozzinians trace their descent.
Phylogeny
- Western Azzanic
- Old Tergetian
- Modern Tergetian
- hyper-Terg?

Consonants
Proto-Azzanic is reconstructed with 29 consonants.

| Diphthongs | *ey *ew | *ay *aw |
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.
| First declension: *kullum 'bird' | ||
|---|---|---|
| Case | Singular | Plural |
| Direct | *kullum | *kulles |
| Indirect | *kullās | *kullēm |
| Genitive | *kullī | *kullām |
| Second declension: *ripṭus 'throat' | ||
|---|---|---|
| Case | Singular | Plural |
| Direct | *ripṭus | *ripṭās |
| Indirect | *ripṭay | *ripṭum |
| Genitive | *ripṭūs | *ripṭa |
| Third declension: *ʕattis 'horn' | ||
|---|---|---|
| Case | Singular | Plural |
| Direct | *ʕattis | *ʕattēs |
| Indirect | *ʕattey | *ʕattim |
| Genitive | *ʕattīs | *ʕatte |
Verbs
Verbs had an extensive trigger system marked by various binyanim. Verbs also inflected for the tense and subject (the argument in the direct case).
