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
