Macro-Edastean languages

The Macro-Edastean languages are those descended from Proto-Macro-Edastean, a postulated language that may have been spoken in the upper Aiwa valley around perhaps -3500 YP, and possibly as early as -5000 YP. The grouping constitutes a top-level linguistic stock. While the relation of the Xoronic family to the Talo-Edastean is considered amply demonstrated by scholars, a substantial reconstruction of their mutual ancestor has proved elusive due to the great time depth involved.
