'''Habesīnan''' is an Indo-European language, spoken in Ethiopia in [[Lõis]]. In modern times it's mostly used as a liturgical and classical language, with the majority of the population speaking [[Togarmite]].

Proto-Palkhan -> Palkhan has an almost consistent stress shift to the second syllable causing the first syllable to get elided; this creates the retroflex-dental clusters and wreaks havoc with the morphology if there happen to be prefixes

**Old Nomadic Mixolydian (with Grimm): avī yasmī wilnō ne est, sa ešwą̄s deršiθ. sa girrų wačą wečeθ, sa mēǰą parą; sa manį āšu pereθ.
***Levantine Mixolydian: contributed some words to English
**Classical Mixolydian ("tentum" language, with Grassmann): avyō, kʰō vilnǭ ne tare, retʰvą̄s vaide, mą girrų vaθą veθei, mą mēðą perą veθei; tʰu mą nērą kʰirsvą perei.

===Orthography===
=Esperanto=


A native logography in addition to the Greek alphabet
Some differences between Esperanto as we know it and Lõisian Esperanto:


===Verbs===
* Pronouns are mi, ci, ri, ni, vi, ili, oni
between Greek and Lithuanian


mediopassive marked with -i
* Transitive verbs in transitive-intransitive pairs are always marked with a causative; the passive for these verbs is used for changes of state.


===Declension===
* -icho is standard for specifically masculine nouns.
*wolf: wilkʰas, wilkʰą, wilkʰasya, wilkʰai, wilkʰātʰ, wilkʰai; wilkʰą̄s, wilkʰās, wilkʰą̄, wilkʰamas, wilkʰamis, wilkʰasu
*seed: tanō, tanǭ, tanōs, tanōi, tanōtʰ, tanōi; tanōs, tanǭs, tanōwą̄, tanōmas, tanōmis, tanōsu
*chair: selwą, selwą, selwasya, selwai, selwātʰ, selwai; selwō, selwō, selwą̄, selwamas, selwamis, selwasu
*i-stems (extremely uncommon)


The neuter gender merges into the masculine in Classical Mixolydian. Levantine Mixolydian around the 10th century is about as analytic as Hindi.
* more noun cases (ergative at least)
 
===Morphosyntax===
 
Mixolydian has the accusative and infinitive construction found in Latin and Ancient Greek, and in Classical and Levantine Mixolydian the accusative and infinitive construction by itself is the most common way of expressing the optative.
 
===Lexicon===
ρεθϝας means 'horse' in Classical and reθwas means 'wheel' in Nomadic
 
smas/ainas, dwā, tʰrīs, kʰetʰwār, pʰenkʰe, swečʰs, septʰį, ačtʰau, newį, dečʰį
-> Classical mas/ainas, dvā, tʰrīs, ketʰvār, penkʰe, vetʰs, septʰį, attʰau, nevį, detʰį
 
Levantine: en, dva, θri, xadar, feng, xweš, seft, ašt, nò, deš (20: wišt?)
 
dūras: faint, soft (drifted from "distant")
 
leupyą (''Nomadic''): hobby (calqued from Old Togarmite)
 
===Levantine Mixolydian===
 
some kind of "Balkan Sprachbund Hindi"? (Balkan grammar and Hindi syntax)
 
Old Nomadic Mixolydian had a very simple declension system, merging the accusative with the nominative and the locative with the dative:
 
nom, gen, dat, abl
*wilxa, wilxas, wilxē, wilxaθ; wilxas, wilxa, wilxam, wilxam
*tano, tanos, tanī, tanoθ; tanos, tano, tanom, tanom
 
Levantine Mixolydian went even further, dropping the -a ending and gender agreement:
 
nom, obl
*wilx, wilxe; wilxas, wilxam
*tano, tani; tanos, tanom
 
The oblique case is used as an ergative in perfect tenses.
