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
