The Azzanic languages 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, Aškāsīnių (čegānų Aškāsīnių) and Rozzino. This family is speculated to have been part of a sprachbund connected to the Talsmic languages.
