| '''Old Glommish''' (''glummьska rarda''; Modern Glommish ''aldglómьsk'') is the most recent common ancestor of the Glommic languages, [[Glommish]] and [[Ufirlandisg]]. It is one of the classical Germanic languages of Lõis and is the most conservative subbranch of Germanic besides Teuthish — it has much less umlaut than Old English or Old Norse. | | '''Old Glommish''' is a special register of Glommish used in Glommish theater to represent characters in ancient times. |
| | |
| It evolved into [[Glommish/Middle|Middle Glommish]] by ca. the 1200s.

| | |
| This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
| |
| | |
| I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
| |
| II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
| |
| III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.

| All consonants except {{recon|j}} can be allophonically palatalized before front vowels (*e *ē *ö *ȫ *i *ī *ü *ǖ *eu *iu). The palatalization was still allophonic in Old Glommish but the allophonic palatalization may have been especially strong in k/g.

| ===Vowels===
| |
| ō > ā; ā > back to ē
| |
| | |
| Old Glommish had the following vowels:
| |
| | |
| '''a ā e ē i ī o ȯ ō ö ȫ u ū ü ǖ au eu iu ъ y ь''' /a ɑː ɛ ɛː i iː ɔ o ɔː œ œː u uː y yː au ɛu iu ə əi ĭ/
| |
| | |
| U-umlaut: a ā e ē i ī > o ō ö ȫ ü ǖ (from PGmc *a *ō/ā *e *ē *i *ī)
| |
| | |
| Vowel reflexes in stressed syllables:
| |
| | |
| a ā e ē ə̄ i ī o ō ö ȫ u ū ü ǖ au eu iu
| |
| | |
| Þiúd'sk: > a á ia/ie iá ý i í o ó ie ié iu iú i í ó ió iú
| |
| | |
| Ufirlandisg: > a ā ia(üe after w) iā(üē after w) ē(uō after w) i(ü after w) ī(ǖ after w) uo uō üe üē u ū ü ǖ au iau ieu
