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.
