'''Tigol''' (''TEE-gol'', ''in nTiccál'' from | '''Tigol''' (''TEE-gol'', ''in nTiccál'' from Pre-Tigol ''*φinom Tinkatlom'' 'the note, the gloss; the explanation'; [[Eevo]]: ''Tygol''; [[Anbirese]]: ''Tigol'') is a [[Talmic]] language which arose from northern dialects of [[Talmic languages|Proto-Talmic]]. Its aesthetics is based on Old Irish orthography, but its choice of postvocalic mutation is voicing, not spirantization. Its extreme grammatical complexity caused it to diverge rapidly into the modern Tigolic languages, [[Skellan]], [[Anbirese]] and [[Ciètian]]. | ||
Tigol is the language of the earliest texts of Mărotłist religion. (What should the equivalent of Tiberian Hebrew be like? What should the Modern Windermere reading be like?) | |||

#u-affection: Short *a, *e, *i are broken to short diphthongs au, eu, iu when the following syllable contains a *u or *ū that was later lost. It is assumed that at the point the change operated, u-vowels that were later lost were short *u while those that remain were long *ū. The change operates after i-affection so original *e may end up as iu. | #u-affection: Short *a, *e, *i are broken to short diphthongs au, eu, iu when the following syllable contains a *u or *ū that was later lost.
