| The '''Azzanic languages''' (Tergetian: ''sa-brìs Azzàinìne'') are a family of consonantal-root languages spoken on the Schrubstiempf , as well as on a set of islands off of the East Wiebian Sea, which includes [[Tergetian]] and [[Rozzino]]. They are descended from '''Proto-Azzanic''' ('''PAzz''').

| | |
| ==Origin==
| |
| The name of the family bears the name of the legendary hero Azzàn, reconstructed as {{recon|ʔAzząnų}}, to whom Tergetians and Rozzinians trace their descent.

| *Western Azzanic

| | |
| ==Phylogeny==
| |
| ==Phonology==
| |
| Proto-Azzanic is reconstructed with almost the same phonology as [[Primitive Tergetian]].
