The phonology of Proto-Nanno-Pithecian is reconstructed based on the phonologies of the Dwarven and Pygmaean languages, and thus is not based on directly attested phonetic values. A minority view amongst scholars is that the Urheimat of the language might have had literate grammarians who have described the nature of their language's sounds in some format, but so far no inscriptions nor surviving books or letters have been identified that would prove this theory. A theory that ancient Nanno-Pithecians had access to technology which could record voices is considered pseudo-scientific. | The phonology of Proto-Nanno-Pithecian is reconstructed based on the phonologies of the Dwarven and Pygmaean languages, and thus is not based on directly attested phonetic values.
