A well-kno'n ancient literary language, demonstrably related to Tsonboran. The Bustaxian invasions of Levant begins around -3.7ka. The oldest inscriptions in the language date from -3.5ka. The Bustaxian Empire reaches its maximum extent (from central Persia and Afghanistan to Anatolia and Greece - not Caucasus, tho) around -3.2ka before decay sets in. The ruling dynasty takes refuge in northern Anatolia, and a separate Bustaxian state survives until trampled under the Altaic' expansion circa -1.4ka. Bustaxian continues to be used as a liturgical language.
Sound changes from Proto-West Persian':
to Proto-Bustaxoid
- Obstruent clusters simplify to agree in both MOA and voicing.
- Ks → Kts
- P1F2 → F1F2
- θ ð → s z
- Dorsal fronting: plain velars become palatals, while uvulars become plain velars. Labiovelars are preserved.
