The '''Talmic languages''' (/ˈtɑːlmɪk/ ''TAHL-mik'') are a subfamily of the [[Quame languages]], spoken chiefly in the [[Talma]] and [[Bjeheond]] regions in the planet of [[Verse:Tricin|Tricin]]. Their last common ancestor is '''Proto-Talmic''' (Eevo: ''Ymá-Talmib''). | The '''Talmic languages''' (/ˈtɑːlmɪk/ ''TAHL-mik'') are a subfamily of the [[Quame languages]], originally spoken chiefly in the [[Talma]] and [[Bjeheond]] regions in the planet of [[Verse:Tricin|Tricin]].
