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 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 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?
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
