Proto-Clofabic or Tamil (Proto-Clofabic: LΛŦꝨΠ ΠΔⱵ tamil dlor 'same/shared/common language'; Clofabosin: tamilserotin) is the (attested!) proto-language of the Clofabic family, which includes Clofabosin and Phormatolide. It was spoken 3000 years before modern Clofabosin. It is a significant source of loanwords for Eevo and other Talman languages. (In Talma, Tamil is the Greek to Windermere's Latin.)
