About Late Proto-Kartashtic
A proto-language of all the Kartashtic languages.
The reconstructed phonology and vocabulary shown here reflects a later phase of the language, and also the phase that was initially reconstructed (except for consonant harmony; that is not shown, as writing /ˤ/ or /ʲ/ after every consonant is a bit redundant (and frankly way too much work)); the recently discovered long-extinct Dongorian language was later connected to the Kartashtic language family, but with some unexplained phonological differences it is now accepted that Dongorian split off the rest of the family very early, which also shifted the presumed date of when the proto-language was spoken further into the past. Earlier phase of the Proto-Kartashtic language was reconstructed, but is typically not used outside of discussions concerning Dongorian.
It is possible that Dongorian was not the only language that split off from the rest of the family this early, but as Kartashtic languages don't have a long written history, it is impossible to tell.
Keep in mind this language was never spoken by humans, despite this page transcribing it using the human phonological system. That is the reason for the lack of bilabial (also called quatrilabial) consonants and for writing the pre-velar series as the retroflex series.
