Suwáá/Wordlist

The Azzanic languages are a family of consonantal-root languages spoken on the Wiobian subcontinent, as well as on a set of islands off of the North Wiobian Sea, including Netagin, Aškāsīnių (čegānų Aškāsīnių) and Rozzino. This family is speculated to have been part of a sprachbund connected to the Talsmic languages.
