Pre-Slythoric

== Pre-Slythoric language Family ==
The Pre-Slythoric languages was a family off languages originally spoken all throughout Slythor and surrounding continents. Sadly most of these languages are dead. We do have written records of most. These were compiled by monks. The Pre-Slythoric languages went extinct a long time ago there is only 2 know living languages that are considerd Pre-Slythoric. These languages conclude Wivamovian and Hälgean.
== History ==
The origins of this language family is unkown though the theory goes is that they were always spoken there only due to ancient migrations these people might have vanished tho the reason is still considered unclear.
=== Sub-Families ===
==== Old-Wivamovic ====
The old Wivamovic languages weer spoken throughout northern Slythör. When the West-Slythoric migration happend the Wivamic peoples of the plains were displaced and thereby fled to Hälge. This migration lead to the development of the Halgean language. The Horlinians, Wivamovians and Nakterikians remained in Slythor. When the great assimilation happend Wivamovians survived in the Wivamonties and due to their survival the many languages were preserved. Halgean also remained a living language in its excluded habitat.
==== West-Slythoric ====
The West-Slythoric branch developed in the North-Western mountains on the Slythör content. Later in history due to unknown reasons they invaded and migrated to the plains in the east thereby spreading their language and culture onto the flatter plains and forests.
==== Pakmovian ====
The Pakmovian branch originated in the east of Slytör. They developed very diffrently from the other branches of the family and left a strong linguistic mark on the area. The Savanlian people first migrated to the east of Slythor due to the highering of tempratures causing a lack of water. Due to the peacefull nature of the migration most groups formed smaller dots arround the land and thereby languages with a smaller speaker base and area. The Pakmovian languages had a great impact on the Savanlian languages. Thereby branching the Savanlians off from the Vartonian branch and the Savanlian branch developed seperatly after their migration into Pakmovia
==== Savanlian ====
The Savanlian and Vartonian language shared many developments from most of their history and formed one branch until the Savanlians moved out of their area and came into repeated contact with Pakmovians. They also married with Pakmovians. Due to the low grasp of the new Pakmovian parents of the Savanlian languages the Savanlian branch diverging from the Vartonian Branch.
====== Zemivian groups ======
Due to the class nature of Savanlian societies many groups were treated as lesser and didnt have complete equality. Due to the acceptance in the Pakmovian kingdoms the opressed Savanlians moved away from the big Noble Savanlian Area and moved to sparsely populated areas arround Pakmovia and settled there away from the opression. Due to these small pockets of Savanlians called "Zemivians" are found speaking unique languages and divergent cultures in Slythor.
==== Vartonian ====
The Vartonian branch is closely related to the Savanlian branch. They have shared history and development. The Vartonians followed after the Savánlimash. Due to the slowly drieing up of their enviorment they were forced to move out of their old lands due to it being inhospitiable to them. They then migrated and invaded lands originally inhabited by the Wivamic and Pakmovians people. THey took their languages with them and borrow characteristics from both branches. Due to their more later migration they didnt share most of the development in language the Savanlians had making those languages branches diffrent from eachother.
