Sprachbünde

Ethio-IE and Ethio-Semitic

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.

Paḷkhan

Inspired by Kannada and Marathi

Some nativized (tadbhava) Sanskrit words

  • ṇnima "full moon" <- *puṇnima <- Sanskrit pūrṇimā
  • pyaḷda "king" <- "noble" <- ati-vṛddha "overgrown" (c.f. Old English æþel)
  • mhoṇa "monk" <- śramaṇa

Palkhan borrows more from Sanskrit (even some derivational affixes) than Pandoga

Indian grammatical tradition

Includes historical linguistics? they may study the relationship between Greek and Sanskrit and develop a deep orthography that fits both (that could be Panini's claim to fame in Lõis!)

Polish Azalic

Inspired by Scots and Yiddish
