Proto-Jazalic language

Proto-Jazalic (commonly abbreviated as PJ) is a proto-language and reconstructed ancestor of the Jazalic languages, one of the world's largest and most spoken families.

Scholars believe that Proto-Jazalic was spoken as a single proto language from 12,300 BP to 10,400 BP, during the early. It is widely accepted that the original homeland of Proto-Jazalic was in the Jazali Mountains in Cadasa. As speakers of Proto-Jazalic became isolated from each other through the settlement of the Ondalsan Archipelago and Nesionytan Islands, the regional dialects of Proto-Jazalic spoken by the various groups diverged, as each dialect underwent shifts in pronunciation, morphology, and vocabulary, sometimes due to language contact with the Nytans from the 3rd century BC, that colonized all of the Nesionytan Islands with the exceptions of Polungitia, Morasavia, Maryaadah, Tekeleb, Bhikalar, Zahama, Ucia, Toalugi, and parts of the Adrian Islands, Obanacia, and the Kanuzunda Islands. Over many centuries, these dialects transformed into ancient Jazalic languages. Today, the descendant languages of Proto-Jazalic are divided into 9 primary groups: Aromic (spoken in Mapu Island in Cadasa), Taulean (spoken in most of the Nesionytan Islands and Ondalsan Archipelago), Haqlic (spoken in the Haql Islands in Cadasa), Alyatakic (spoken in Baratlamuri and formerly the Cendang Islands), Fusonchan (spoken in Fusoncha State of the Vizhutuan Federation), Pondyunic (spoken in Ponduny State of the Vizhutuan Federation), Muangjhaian (spoken in Sittapini), Ihlit-Gao (spoken in parts of the Takakshiar and Ughulku alytes of Obanacia), Wajo-Oi (spoken near the border of the Sitapinyar and Kajamai alytes of Obanacia), Hkal-Oyo (spoken in Rajatawan Island in Obanacia), and Toalugic (spoken in Toalugi).

Phonology
The phonology of the Proto-Jazalic language has been reconstructed by linguists, based on the similarities and differences among current and extinct Jazalic languages. Because PJ was not written, linguists must rely on the evidence of its modern-day descendants.
