About Proto-Chu
Proto-Chu is the latest common ancestor to all the known Chu languages, which are very unique across each other. Proto-Chu has incredibly limited works with which to attest it, making many aspects of how exactly it works quite a mystery. However, comparative linguistics and a bit of logic have gotten people most of the way there. (What they figured out is not what is written here.)
