Proto-Alpinian
From FrathWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
This is a project that is under construction, I am getting vocabulary from the proto-indoeuropean language, to recreate a language that was spoken in the alps as a branch of nuclear european, together may be with germanic, italic, celtic and albanian, could lead to other languages such as ancient belgian, ligurian or lusitanian. I try to situate it from the vocabulary and some grammar, but I'm still not clear about the sound changes. --Spinovenator (talk) 11:29, 26 February 2018 (PST)
