'''Old Teuthish''' is a language spoken in Lõis. It is classified in Lõis as a Germanic language, but relative to our timeline it is a sister of Proto-Germanic. It makes use of several archaisms such as the total absence of Verner's law, and contrastive stress inherited from PIE. It is also innovative in other ways, such as Grassmann's law. | |||

Old Teuthish has a lot more historical attestation in Lõis than Proto-Germanic; it's comparable to Old English. | |||
