'''Ancient Sohcahtoan''' is a [[w:Japonic languages|Japonic]] language that is the precursor of [[Sohcahtoan]]. Nowadays, it is used for solely ceremonial purposes at festivals, and no one actually uses it in everyday speech. Much of Ancient Sohcahtoan has been documented verbally, however some words have been comparatively reconstructed from modern Sohcahtoan. These comparatively reconstructed words are marked with an "'''*'''"(asterisk) at the beginning of a word. | '''Ancient Sohcahtoan''' is a [[w:Japonic languages|Japonic]] language that is the precursor of [[Sohcahtoan]].
