Macro-Ŋǝltaic, also known as macro-Nguhltaic (English: [mækɹʌwŋɫ̩tejɪk]), Ɱorean (English: [ɱoɹijʌn]) is a language family[disputed] that is an extension of the Ŋǝltaic language family[citation needed]. Its associated root language, Proto-Ɱorean[disputed], is the ancestor[disputed] of approximately half of the languages spoken on the Ŋearth, and it is lauded as an important step in the reconstruction[disputed] of Proto-Ŋorld[disputed].
Generally speaking, the name macro-Ŋǝltaic is preferred by those who think Ŋǝltaic is a primary language family, while the name Ɱorean is preferred by those seeking to find the hypothetical (and often memed upon) "Proto-Ŋorld". However, even in the former community, the name "Proto-Ɱorean" for its proto-language reconstruction is preferred[citation needed], as it is easier to distinguish from Proto-Ŋǝltaic[disputed] (which both camps of macro-Ŋǝltaicists assert is a real language[disputed]).
Additionally, the former camp of macro-Ŋǝltaicists tend to be significantly less bold than the latter. Macro-Ŋǝltaic, when differentiated from Ɱorean, is therefore usually assumed to be approximately what Ɱoreanists call Ŋostratic or Ŋǝurasiatic, though confusingly, all three language families are often referred to as "macro-Ŋǝltaic".
Structure
Most macro-Ŋǝltaicists assert that regular Ŋǝltaic, which they call "micro-Ŋǝltaic", is a real language family[citation needed], and is simply too closely related to languages not traditionally included in micro-Ŋǝltaic to be ignored. This is the language tree for macro-Ŋǝltaic:
- Proto-Ɱorean
- Proto-Ŋostratic
- Ŋǝurasiatic languahes
- Ŋǝltaic languages
- Saxo-Humoric languages
- Pisco-Imerchali languages
- Ancient Greek
- Altaic languages
- Aisti-Hummic languages
- Ŋǝltaic languages
- Afro-Asiatic languages
- Ŋǝurasiatic languahes
- Sinitic languages
- Ŋaustric languages
- Sesjan languages
- Proto-Ŋostratic
- ↑ Proto-Protogen is generally asserted to be too closely related to Japonic to be in the traditional Ŋǝltaic family[citation needed]. This is despite known evidence that it descends at least in part from 21st Century Humorese, though to this idea's credit, a high degree of creolization is observed across the entirety of Humoric.
