Meó-Succlythian languages: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 01:23, 11 March 2022

The Meó-Hsuqliht language family is a major Pavala language family. It contains many languages, including the important Meó and historical Ancient Hsuqliht language (and the modern descendants of the Hsuqliht language), as well as several dozen minority languages.

Proto Meo-Hsuqliht is the reconstructed ancestor of the Meó-Hsuqliht languages. Its theorised homeland is the mountain chain situated between the Yot River basin and Miru River basin, and indeed today this is where the highest diversity within the family resides. The language's verbs were heavily inflected for subject, object, indirect object, tense, aspect, and mood, and nouns declined for at least 8 cases.
