Old Padmanábha

Padmanábha (modern: Padmënovë /padmənovə/, ancient: Padmanábha /padmana:bʰa/) is a Camalic language spoken in Irta's North Africa. Like English and Togarmite, it has changed very little since 900 AD. It is inspired aesthetically by Gussnish.

The name Padmanábha is inspired by the Sanskrit word padma meaning lotus.

It underwent a sound change similar to Grimm's law: aspirated stops in Old Padmanábha turned into spirants (/pʰ bʰ tʰ dʰ kʰ gʰ/ -> /f v θ ð x ɣ/). Aspirated stops in Padmanábha came from stød-less syllables in Proto-Camalic.
