About Archaic Osheshdi
Archaic Osheshdi is the oldest attested stage of Osheshdi, an extinct South Vaniuan language that was spoken near Central Vaniu.
My favorite part about this language is that this is the first sentence I translated:
"My father makes sacrifices to Talv (the elder god)"
Jisạlšạj jis bāʽšạn ŧạlvụn ħaʽŧa
/d͡ʒisɒlʃɒd͡ʒ d͡ʒis bã:ʃɒn *ɒl*ʉn ħã*a/
