'''Proto-Talmic''' is a descendant of [[Proto-Quihum]] and the last common ancestor of all [[Talmic languages]] (including [[Thensarian]], [[Tíogall]], [[Nurian]], [[Rostherian]], ...). It was a fusional, head-initial language with a number system consisting of singulative, collective and plurative numbers.

==Diachronics==
Wackernagel's Law
Some sound changes from [[Proto-Quihum]]:
*Early rhotacization: lʼ, nʼ, yʼ > r
*''y'' > ''h''? (get PTal *j from other sources)
*Ejectives become voiced stops:
**cʼ z > z
**ƛʼ λ > ɮ
**qʼ qʷʼ > ɢ ɢʷ > ʁ ʁʷ
*xʷ > w (at least word initially before a vowel; also in [[Proto-Pfeunic]])
*ƛ > t
*Late rhotacization: z > r (s in unvoiced environments)
*lenition of p > φ
*Cluster simplifications
*tk, tq > rk, rq
*pt-, kt-, qt- > φl-, kl-, ql-
