Macro-Ŋǝltaic

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
      • Altaic languages
        • Japonic languages
          • Japanese
          • Proto-Protogen^{[disputed][1]}
      • Aisti-Hummic languages
    • Afro-Asiatic languages
      • Amuj-Shudrowan languages
  • Sinitic languages
    • Middle Chinese (Tang Dynasty, Chang'an dialect)
  • Ŋaustric languages
    • Austronesian languages
      • Toki Pona^[disputed]
      • Paleo-Oberian B

^[1]: 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.
