'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is the the ancestor of all living [[Talmic languages]]. It is inspired aesthetically by Proto-Celtic and Latin, grammatically by Hebrew, Ancient Greek and Native American languages.
 
==Todo==
*PQ ''a'' > Thn. ''o'' (?)
 
==Notes on notation==
===Glossary===
*<sup>CLF</sup>: classifier tone pattern (non-desinential or desinential)
*''H'': vowel hiatus with next syllable
*''N'': denotes a homorganic nasal
*''Z'': denotes ''r'' before a vowel or voiced C, ''s'' before a voiceless C, null before ''z''
*''~'': cognate to
 
==Background==
:''See also: [[{{PAGENAME}}/Sound changes from Proto-Quihum]].''
 
==Phonology==
===Consonants===
{{PAGENAME}} used 22 consonants. Unusually for the family, it is devoid of affricates, ejectives, and lateral obstruents, possessing instead a preponderance of fricatives.

;Notes
*Voiceless plosives /p t k/ are lightly aspirated.
*/r/ is a postalveolar trill [r̠] or tap [ɾ̠].
*/l/ is mildly velarized dental [l̪ˠ].
 
====Conditioned allophony====
Allophony in {{PAGENAME}} is limited.

===Vowels===
Classical {{PAGENAME}} has a six-vowel system with a quantity distinction. Short vowels have one mora (except for epenthetic ''i/y'' which has zero morae), and long vowels have two morae. <!--

==Orthography==
[[Image:Ŧā́thimā́ script.jpg|right|thumb|{{PAGENAME}} runic script.|240px]]
 
The standardized {{PAGENAME}} alphabet, whose variants are also used to write other Talmic languages, is a native alphabetic script consisting of consonant and vowel letters in addition to diacritics for vowel length.
 
The alphabetical order is as follows:
#'''R:'''
#'''D:'''
#'''Z:'''
#'''I:'''
#'''Γ:'''
#'''A:'''
#'''Ħ:'''
#'''F:'''
#'''M:'''
#'''L:'''
#'''G:'''
#'''C:'''
#'''H:'''
#'''B:'''
#'''S:'''
#'''V:'''
#'''O:'''
#'''J:'''
#'''Ȝ:'''
#'''Δ:'''
#'''Y:'''
#'''Χ:'''
#'''T:'''
#'''N:'''
#'''Θ:'''
#'''P:'''
#'''E:'''
#'''U:'''
 
==Morphology==
===Verbs===
The verbal system is one of the most complex aspects of {{PAGENAME}} grammar. A verb can take many affixes which are arranged in the following template:
 
#switch-reference marker
#applicative or derivational prefixes
#object prefix
#(prefix or reduplication for some TAMs)
#'''STEM'''
#voice suffix
#TAM + subject
#emphatic suffix ''-is''
 
Verbs often take an emphatic suffix or clitic ''-is'', which is more often used with affirmative statements than negative statements.
 
====TAM + subject markers====
Thensarian verbs are conjugated in present, imperfect, preterite, future, perfect, and pluperfect tenses; indicative, subjunctive, optative and imperative moods; and active and passive voices.
