Hirathic is my latest attempt at making an a posteriori language based on Proto-Indo-European. It is primarily inspired by developments found in the Greek and Albanian branches of the Indo-European language family. It also serves as yet another opportunity for me to delve into Indo-European linguistics. Hirathic has furthermore a set of words from an in-universe pre-Indo-European language termed the [[Hirathic/Substrate|Hirathic substrate language]] which is basically my excuse to plop in words here and there without having to take them from a [[w:Proto-Indo-European language|PIE]] root. | Hirathic is my latest attempt at making an a posteriori language based on Proto-Indo-European.

Unlike [[Dhannuá]] which was originally envisioned as a plausible modern Indo-European-descended language, I aim for Hirathic to be more like Old Norse, Sanskrit, Old Latin, Ancient Greek, that is, a language of epic cants and myths that is no longer spoken. | Unlike [[Dhannuá]] which was originally envisioned as a plausible modern Indo-European-descended language, I aim for Hirathic to be more like Old Norse, Sanskrit, Old Latin, Ancient Greek, that is, a language of epic cants and myths that is no longer spoken. | ||
