==Phonology==
===Vowels===
a e i o u ə ö ü ā ē ī ō ū ȫ ǖ iə uə aj ej öj uj iw
 
ȫ > aa in later Roshterian; aa also emerges from CL
 
===Consonants===

The "medial" consonants were retroflex, sje-like or bunched.
 
===Stress===
The initial stress in Proto-Talmic had shifted to penultimate by Pre-Roshterian. (becomes ultimate stress in Roshterian after final vowels are deleted)
 
==Morphology==
===Nouns===
Case? Maybe just absolute/construct
 
{| class="bluetable lightbluebg" style=" text-align: center;"
|+ ''ḽatnə'' 'seed'
|-
! style="width: 100px;" | Construct

!  style="width: 100px;" | Plural
|-
| ''ḽatnai'' || ''ḽatnə'' || ''hēḽatnə''
|}
 
Nouns also have an ''incorporated form'' or an ''incorporandum'', used when the noun is used in noun incorporation.

===Verbs===
The process of attaching preverbs such as prepositions to verbs was productive in Proto-Talmic, which then was repurposed for applicatives and for noun incorporation in Old Roshterian [unlike in Thensarian which took a path more akin to IE languages].
