The '''Themsarian''' (/θɛmˈsɑɹiən/) '''language''' (Themsarian: ''gávthā themsárimā'' [gáʊ̯fθàː θè̞msárimàː] "the Themsarian throat") was traditionally classified into an [[Talsmic languages|isolated subbranch]] of the [[Zachydic languages|Zachydic]] language family, along with other para-Themsarian languages which are/were natively spoken in the peninsula of Tálsym off the northwestern coast of the Pattiya subcontinent. (Since then, Talsmic's [[Raxo-Talsmic languages|close ties]] to Ractamic languages, such as [[Raxic]], has gained widespread recognition.) The language remains clearly Zachydic (It is often said that Themsarian 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), Themsarian was a typological and lexical outlier in the larger Zachydic 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. The name of the Themsarian language comes from the Themsár region, from whose dialect arose the prestige language of the peninsula. This elevated register/lect existed in a state of diglossia with the diverse and often mutually unintelligible vernacular "dialects". Noble Themsarian 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.

In keeping with the greater Talsmic and Zachydic milieu Themsarian employs a mixed fusional and agglutinative inflectional morphology, notably doing so by using a combination of tone changes and affixes.
