__FORCETOC__
== History ==
=== Proto-Havenite ===
Proto-Havenite and descendants of it are typically called the Tungaljósálfar by Talawan oral tradition in what is now Chervonstad during the Empire of Uldarash in reference to the legendary founding race of Alfheim. Influences of Proto-Havenite, the common ancestor of the languages endemic to Haven prior to Talawan settlement of Hapatmitas, are apparent in archaic or scholarly uses of Alfheimi, notably in the popularly used "Alfheim Aeterna Victrix," whose phonology is quite distinct from Alfheimi and even other Uldarashi languages.
===Alfheimi Introduction of the language===
The language itself dates back to the early days of Alfheim, when the Talawans still resided in the land where Alfheim stood, but little is know about it from this time, due to the mysterious disappearance of the elves.
The language was almost entirely recreated during and after the events of the Red Turban Rebellion, when Chervonstad was heavily developed and the founders required a common language that they could communicate in, and teach future generations of Alfheimi to speak as well.

===Present Day Use of Alfheimi===
The creation of Alfheimi by the founders was well documented, and many of these documents survive to this day, having been brought to Abexilas aboard the Alfheimi ships. The language is now used by the citizens of Lakaria, most of whom are former Alfheimi citizens, and those who were not quickly learnt.
