Earth-Prime, as in "apostrophe-like thing", not "primary". Not as much as a conworld as much as a place to dump phonology sketches on. Regardless, they have quite a bit of interaction so some fleshing-out is inevitable.
As for now, a project summary.
Name | Status | World-internal size | Areal(ish) features contained | Location |
---|---|---|---|---|
Altaic' | Sketch++ | Major family | Uvulars, labial-velars (East) | Dispersed from Central Asia |
Battlax | Sketch | Currently medium-sized, formerly major family | No /p/, vricativs; brief /kx/ (branch 3) | NW India? Branch 3 possibly in Anatolia (how did it tunnel past Persian'?) |
Caucasian' | Very sketch | Large but geographically limited family | Clicks (lost in some sub-branches), vricativs, monosyllabic tendency | Caucasus & Levant |
Klusterax | Sketch++ | Small family | Loose phonotactics, non-contrastiv voicing | Previously, NW India, considering relocating them southwards maybe… |
Mivizian | Sketch | Small family | Vricativs, small vowel system | Northern Drift Valley |
Nilotic' | Sketch | Major family; possibly distantly related to Caucasian' | /kx/; implosivs (South); ejectivs, voiceless nasals & uvulars (North) | All the way along the Nile & in adjacent areas |
Ouiqál | Single language (for now; not isolate!) | Beginnings | Voiceless nasals | Anatolia, originates from SW Central Asia (due to Altaic' expansion) |
Persian' | Sketch++ | Currently small, formerly medium-sized family | Uvulars; tones, lhaterals, vricativs & multiple sonorant sets (modern branch) | From Persia east <> westwards? |
Polynesian' | Sketch | Major family | Unitary splosivs & prenasals | Not necessarily Polynesia (eg. Indonesia could also work), but nowhere near West Asia in any case!! |
Telefax | Sketch | Small family | Implosivs, lhaterals, nasal vowels | Balkan |
Uwjge?? | Almost nearly decent | Possibly single | /ʀ/, fortis vs lenis stop system | Not a clue, still possibly conworld-internal conlang if I don't declare it a strictly personal/engelang with no conworld background |
WBSan | Very sketch | Possibly related to Uwjge | Implosivs, possibly voiced aspirates | Deeper in Europe |
