Floppaic languages

Floppaic is a language family comprising the vast array of languages originally spoken by the Floppas. It is spoken by 278 million people worldwide, and is one of the world's primary language families.
== Origin ==
Since the advent of modern linguistics, one of the problems that catched most the eye of researchers was determining the Floppaic Urheimat, or the location and time of the first Floppaic speaker. After extensive migratory studies, and studies relating to the spread of Floppaic in the ancient world, two hypotheses have been proposed:
* The Saharan hypothesis. According to this hypothesis, Floppaic originated 15k years ago in the once lush Saharan desert. This is consistent with the archeological evidence of Floppa presence in the region.
* The Iberian hypothesis. Though unpopular, it states that Floppaic was not properly developed by the Floppas, instead was a language isolate which emerged in the Iberian peninsula. Originally spoken by humans, it was picked up by the Floppas during their migration into the region from Africa.
== Features and vocabulary ==
It is hard to generalize the features of this family; the word order, Verb-Object-Subject, is conserved across all languages. Possibly, proto-Floppaic borrowed some specific terminology from Vasconic languages in Iberia, and even earlier might have taken part in a Sprachbund with Nilo-Saharan languages.
