History of Talmic studies

History of the term

The Talmic family was referred to as the "Cēm languages" (Eevo: britsa Ceem) in earlier Talman works, after the Thensarian word cēm for one inherited in all known Talmic languages at the time. After the discovery of other Quihum languages such as Sjowaazheñ, the definition expanded to other Quihum languages, until Proto-Quihum was reconstructed with relative accuracy and the family was renamed Quihum (Eevo: britsa Cvillym or hølltu Cvillym). The designation Talmic (Eevo: Talmiv) is now applied to the branch, after the name of the Talma region where most of the Talmic languages are native to.
