The Proto-Thesom-Alchellean language is the hypothetical common ancestor of the Thesom-Alchellean languages. Although the existence of such a language has been accepted by linguists of the different realms for a long time, there has been debate about many specific details.

Roots
All scholars of Proto-Thesom-Alchellean have finally agreed that even before Proto-Thesom-Alchellean some basic language existed. This ante-Proto language is called The Root System. Roots are the most basic source of vocabulary, something that could be called “the bones of any language”.
Roots consist of characteristic consonants (one to four) and characteristic vowels (only one per root).
