The ''' | The '''Tanisi languages''' is a family, or group, of constructed naturalistic languages, which share common features derived the hypothetic [[Proto-Tanisi]] language. They are inspired by a diversity of natural languages, each of them with a distinct style, yet with grammatical and semantical similarities, as well as a shared vocabulary. | ||

*'''[[Damian]]''' - ''A so far sketchy language with [[w:Greek language|Greek]]/[[w:Slavic languages|Slavic]]/[[w:Shona language|Shona]]/[[w:Khmer language|Khmer]] influences.
