Overview

Terzemian is an Indo-European conlang located along the west coast of the Caspian Sea. It is a satem language (the word for hundred is xündo /xyndo/), with some retention of laryngeals. Other salient features are the use of the ruki rule, Grassman's law, Slavic depalatalization, z/r alternation, a three-group vowel harmony system, and two phases of lenition (the first word-final, and the second approximately intervocalic).
