Proto-Alpianic is the common ancestor of the Alpianic branch of the Hesperic language family in the League of Lost Languages. It is currently being created by Jörg Rhiemeier.
Proto-Alpianic probably was spoken in central Switzerland around 1000 BC. The language is about as closely related to Old Albic as Greek is to Latin.
Phonology
Consonants
| Labial | Coronal | Dorsal | Laryngeal | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Neutral stops | *p | *t | *k | |
| Aspirated stops | *ph | *th | *kh | |
| Affricates | *pf | *ts | *kx | |
| Fricatives | *f | *s | *x | *h |
| Nasals | *m | *n | *ń | |
| Laterals | *l | *ĺ | ||
| Rhotics | *r | *ŕ | ||
| Semivowel | *j |
The dorsal nasal *ń almost certainly was a velar nasal [ŋ]. The phoneme *ĺ probably was a velarized alveolar lateral [ɫ], the phoneme *ŕ a uvular trill [ʀ].
Vowels
| Front | Central | Back | |
|---|---|---|---|
| High | *i î | *u û | |
| Mid | *e ê ẽ | *o ô õ | |
| Low | *a â ã |
The circumflex accent marks a long vowel; nasal vowels (with tilde) are always short.
Syllable structure
The maximum syllable structure is (s)C(R)V(L) with the following values:
- C is any consonant.
- R is any nasal, liquid or *j; if present, C must be an obstruent.
- V is any vowel.
- L is any nasal or liquid. May not be present in a syllable with a long or nasal vowel, and not in final syllables.
Accent
The accent, which probably was stress, falls on the first syllable of the word.
