-'''Roshterian''' /rɒʃˈtɛriən/ (native name: ''giatiroxṯer'' /giət̪ɪɾɔʂˈʈɛɾ/ 'The Roshterian throat') is a [[Quame languages|Quame language]] inspired by P-Celtic (particularly Welsh). It is intended to be a polysynthetic language with a pseudo-European and Armenian aesthetic. Roshterian is the native language of 5.1 million people, most of which live in the Roshterian Autonomous Region in Dodellia. Among Bitaletans, it is famous for its grammar: it is a head-initial, polysynthetic language with a complex agglutinating verb morphology that uses polypersonal agreement, evidentials, applicative constructions and noun incorporation.

-|quote=The Roshterian tongue is not only unsurpassed in beauty, but is surely among the most bountiful of troves for the student of languages. No Talman can but marvel at this language's great depth and uncanny familiarity to him ... While its words and forms display some affinity to our own language [&zwnj;[[Skellan]]], they are even more akin to the ancient [[Thensarian]] language, indeed to such a degree that its Talmic provenance cannot be doubted ... Curiously, the Roshterian speech in particular is pronounced with consonants with strong tongue-curling ... it has a proclivity towards using lengthy words for single utterances where a succession of smaller words and prefixes combine in a quite volatile manner, reminding one of the language of [[Tigol]] texts ... I think it proper to further study this curious language, wherein is certain to lie solutions to great mysteries surrounding the common forebear of Talmic languages.

-The ancestors of modern-day Roshterians are hypothesized to have been an autochthonous people who gradually adopted a Talmic superstrate language.
-The first written example of a complete Roshterian sentence is found in a [[Windermere]] travel journal dating to ca. fT 830dd (in Windermere script):
-:'''չıƍϙıէ›ƍʎϙ˫է˫ɟ ϙ⸗ƪժ⸗ғ⸗ӿ⸗є ƍ⸗չ› ɟ˫ϙ:ϫ·է·є '''
-:'''''bietiroașterem taycadawan habo metupărăn'''''
-:''I would like to speak Roshterian; alas, I cannot.''
-(In modern Roshterian orthography: ''Bys oṟbiroxṯerimytaicyn, boorimitupyryn.'' 'gladly-language-Roshterian-speak-1SG but-EVID.DIR-NEG-do-can-1SG')
-This sentence was likely written by a non-native speaker of Roshterian, seeing by the fact that they omitted evidentials, which would be required in the second clause.
-The significance of Roshterian for Talmic linguistics was first noted by the Skellan linguist Aloð Bolltind. He proposed that it reflected all four dorsal series of Proto-Talmic differently, unlike the Thensaric languages hitherto known in Talma:
-*{{recon|''k, g''}} > Roshterian ''c, g''; Thensarian ''c, g''
-*{{recon|''kʷ, gʷ''}} > Rosh. ''p, b''; Thn. ''c, g''
-*{{recon|''q, ʁ''}} > Rosh. ''q, ḡ''; Thn. ''ȝ, ħ''
-*{{recon|''qʷ, ʁʷ''}} > Rosh. ''x, ṟ/(zero initially)''; Thn. ''c, g'' or ''-ȝ, -ħ''
-==Todo==
-Affix fusion rules -- just say the morphemes fast and see what happens
-*''Tiixi'' = a female name
-*''Ḻuba'' = a male name
-*''Ḻubasomb'' = a male name
-*In prefixes, ni- > i- (important!)
-*How do I get "holophrastic" words [words with the meaning of whole sentences]
-*Applicative prefixes should be older than prepositions
-*Disallow initial ''s'' and ''ṟ''
