protoTelgean
protoTelgean is the reconstructed ancestor of the Telgean language family, a hypothetical group of related languages spoken in the vicinity of the fictional Telgean homeland. It is inferred through the comparative method from systematic correspondences among its descendant languages. Reconstructed data place protoTelgean as diverging into several daughter languages by the early first millennium BCE, with further splits in later centuries. The geographic origin and exact dating remain subjects of scholarly debate within the fictional setting.
Phonology: The reconstructed consonant inventory typically includes voiceless and voiced stops p t k b d g,
