Batshit language?

Avestan. Little else to say.

My god is this huge, this'll take a while to leaf through

Oh my. I've been waiting on this for some time; always been a fan of yours
Will have to read through it when I come back home

Asthmatics don't play anything. My biggest achievement in sport was a SC2 platinum league ranking

I never even got baseball. There's like three dudes that play and a handful more that like kinda stand around and one that runs in a circle.

Aye, would be fun to actually complete one

I do not >_>
I just like the proper usage of terms. But yeah, listen to Hallow; sketch out some grammar

This is nowhere near Proto-Indo-European except with some of the barest basics, sorry to burst your bubble.
And what is usually meant with "like the Proto-Indo-European of my conworld" is that it is the motherlanguage of a gigantic phylum, little else.

Hey, these could also maybe do:

z > l > ɫ > ʟ
z > l > ɫ > ʟ > ɡʟ > kx
z > l > ɮ > dɮ > ǁ

z > l > ɬ
z > l > ɮ
z > l > ɣ
z > r > ʀ > ɣ
z > r > ɽ > ɖ
z > ð > v > m
z > ð > v > ɱ
z > ð > w > gw

Some more changes to add to diversity

explain pls

You get bored and have a stupid idea. You take 98% pure alcohol and mix it with grapefruit juice. You drink that shit. You don't remember what happened afterwards. You don't do it again.

So, second person possessive: Case SG DU PL NOM virtên vrisgâ vikmî GEN viṭṭâ vriṣmê əkistê DAT/BEN viḍritû vrîktê virkî ACC virtê vikrê viṣtistî COM/VOC virpîṣtê viṣpiṣtê viṣtî ABL viṣmiṣmê vriṣnê viṣkismê The second person possessive doesn't distinguish animacy but distinguishes number.

I concur o:

Ah, possessive pronouns. They're like special, irregular adjectives, and syntactically behave as such. There are three different possessive pronoun sets for three different persons; fourth person possessives aren't attested and in their stead we find the genitive and dative forms of the fourth perso...

At the very least, he's not Charlie

Ah, Slavs as people?
Grew out of that too, Rusanov helped a lot

Dhok is the one who has problems with women and Darkgamma is the one who said he was born in 5 different countries at the same time once. Also he has a thing for Slavs. Well, basically, I had a thing. I grew up. I'm more into Indo-Iranian languages than Slavic now, although Proto-Balto-Slavic itsel...

Rusanov's quite quotable.

:> Pronouns Pronouns in hBaṣvî function more or less regularly; pronouns distinguish three numbers, four persons and eight cases. Let's begin with the first person pronoun: Case SG DU PL NOM åṣθâ ṣmiθâ ṣmîsmǫ̂ GEN åṣmam ṣmismam mîsmåm DAT åṣmų̂ ṣmâθmų̂ mîsmåû BEN åṣmismų̂ ṣmâθiṣθû mîsmåṣû ACC åṣmâ ṣ...
