Indo-Semito-Camalic, sometimes referred to as Noahic, is a proposed family conjectured by some Lõisian linguists, including the Indo-European, Semitic, Egyptian and Camalic languages.

A comprehensive Proto-Indo-Semito-Camalic grammar, including a few fables, was sketched by the linguist and doctor [name]. He also proposed two older macrofamilies linking:

  • Paleo-Iranian languages, Corded Ware languages and Harappan; and
  • Sumerian, Tbaic and South Indian languages.

Though they are not taken seriously by contemporary linguists, they influenced [conlanger]'s Elvish languages.

Phonology

Two series of stops (a third, ejective series was created from clusters with glottal stops)

Grammar

Proto-Indo-Semito-Camalic didn't have grammatical gender; gender evolved separately in the three branches.

Verbs had prefix conjugations and suffix conjugations like PSem or Lõisian PIE.

Proposed roots

  • 1st person *n
  • 2nd person *t
  • demonstrative/relativizer *s (PIE só/swe; PSem *šuʔa)
  • relativizer *y ~ genitive/adjectival *-i (IE: *yos/*-yo-; Semitic: genitive *-i, nisba *-iyy-)
  • demonstrative *D (PIE *tód, Semitic *ðū)
  • causative *-y- (PIE *-éyeti, Semitic root extensions with 3rd root letter *y)
  • nominalizer *-t (PIE *-tís/-tús, Semitic feminine *-t)
  • ISC *med ~ medʔ -> *PIE *med- 'to measure' ~ PSem *m-d-d 'to measure'
  • ISC *widq -> *PIE *weyd- 'to see' ~ PSem *(y/w)-d-ʕ 'to know'
  • ISC *sek ~ sekw ~ seky -> *PIE *sekʷ- 'to see' ~ PSem *s-k-y 'to foresee'
  • ISC *x̣iw -> *PIE *h₂yew- 'to live' ~ PSem *ħ-y-w 'to live'
  • ISC *wer ~ werʔ -> *PIE *wer- 'to fear' ~ PSem *(y/w)-r-ʔ 'to fear'
  • ISC *kʔum -> *PIE *gʷem- 'to come' ~ PSem *q-(w)-m 'to rise'
  • ISC *buʔ -> *PIE *bʰuH- 'to be' ~ PSem *b-(w)-ʔ 'to come'
  • ISC *ʔil -> *PIE *h₁el- 'deer, elk' ~ PSem *ʔayyal- 'stag, hart'
  • PIE *táwros 'bull' ~ PSem *θawr-
  • ISC *ɣel -> *PIE *h₂el- 'grow, nourish; beyond, other' ~ PSem *ʕalay 'upon', *ʕ-l-y 'to rise'
  • PIE *sweḱs '6' ~ PSem *šidþ-
  • PIE *septṃ '7' ~ PSem *šabʕ-

Sound correspondences

  • PIE h₁/y ~ PSem y (e.g. dual -oh₁ in PIE ~ -aym in PSem, PIE *h₁es ~ PSem *yiθ, PIE *h₁oynos originally from a 3sg pronoun ~ PSem *ya- 3sg prefix)
