History of the Euluska Language

===Anthropological Origins===
The Lusken Peninsula was one of the two cradles of humanity, the other being central Rakkimar. Over 300,000 years ago, the first humans began waves of migrations from the Lusken Peninsula up the Fallo coast. Some split to Lakay and some continued further north through the Burning Hills and to the Danderillon. The early humans in the peninsula would have spoken a proto-language whose descendants came to include Euluska and others.
===The Language's History===
=====Proto-Swordic (Over -5000 years ago)=====
The proto-language that mothered Proto-Euluska, it is only reconstructed through looking at various Swordic languages such as (Old) Euluska, Vist, Nadûra, Nethir, Fallonese, (Old) Vrei, etc.
=====Proto-Euluska (-5000s to -1000s)=====
The proto-language first attested in the early Lusken Peninsula was an agglutinative language with fairly simple verbs, very simple pronouns, and a smaller consonant inventory.
=====Old Euluska (-1000s to -100s)=====
Spoken by the earliest Lusken civilisations and city-states, still used on historical crests and similar things
=====Middle Euluska (-100s to 800s)=====
Spoken in the early centuries of the Lusken Empire, it was this Euluska that was spread to early colonised regions like The Danderillon
=====South Euluska (800s to 1400s)=====
This later evolution was spread fo colonial Lakay, and was the language of politics and nobility for centuries, taking precedence in Lakay, the Wolcott Straits, the Fallo, and the Western Danderillon over local languages like Kaneeyi, Vortai, Fallonese, or Vist respectively. In the Danderillon, it evolved into Modern Euluska, whilst elsewhere it merged with local languages. In the homeland of the peninsula, the present spoken dialects are derived from South Euluska.
=====Modern Euluska (1500s onwards)=====
The most modern era of Euluska evolved through the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. In the homeland and the western Danderillon, it has remained recognisable. A breakaway dialect in the East Danderillon is notable, as well as its replacement by local related languages in certain places like Lakayan creoles, Fallonese, etc.
=====East Euluska (1500s onwards)=====
Arguably slowly becoming a separate language more than just a dialect, East Euluska developed in the Eastern Danderillon (Datria, Bracken, peripheral Rakkimar, the Xantic Isles) after the Lusken Empire fell, and these territories became linguistically isolated from the rest of the Danderillon. It borrowed much more vocabulary from Rakki, and developed a weird and unique sound, with a lot of different whispered sounds (like voiceless nasals), a lack of voiced stops, and a weirdly inconsistent orthography to boot.
