Old Harappan
Old Harappan had the retroflex glissando liquid /ɭ͢d̪/, which is believed to have come from certain dialects of Vedic Sanskrit. In addition, Old Harappan had some other grammatical features in common with other languages in the Indus Sprachbund:
- heavy agglutination and a dual number
- a few commonly calqued expressions (including "śravaḥ akṣitaṃ"?)
- Hungarian-style transitive conjugation in verbs
- "verb-second-to-last" order with the topic placed at the end of the sentence
- a two-way evidentiality system like Turkish
