Thosk is a constructed language or conlang designed by teacher and linguist Dean Easton. The language shows a clear Indo-European origin, and the online glossary includes credible etymological derivations for many words. Thosk has 17 consonants and 5 vowels -- a total of 22 phonemes. Most of the phonemes, the permissible consonant clusters, and the grammar are familiar to a speaker of English. Unlike many conlangs, Thosk is naturalistic -- a "possible" language with a plausible protohistory. Some sample texts exist.

Thosk belongs to the hypothetical Tusik branch of the Indo-European language family.
