'''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.
 
*-anz, -inz, -unz > -ąz, -įz, -ųz > -ār, -īr, -ūr
*kw, hw > p, f
 
===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
