In Eevo, "Tergetian languages" (Terjedib or łynøñ Terjed) refers to naturally evolved vernacular descendants of Classical Naeng, whereas "Dămea" (Dymeeib or łynøñ Dymee) refers to either Classical Naeng or (Revived) Modern Naeng. Some Trician languages such as Clofabosin only use "Dămea" (dameserotin) for Modern Naeng and use "Tergetian" (tergetoserotin) for the naturally evolved clade rooted in CWdm. Netagin uses Qašenin ("Ashanian") for Classical Naeng, Neŋin for Modern Naeng, and Tyrgetin for Tergetian vernaculars.

Some Tergetian languages are:

Among these, the most widely spoken is Pradiul.
