Annemonnian Languages

The **Annemonnian Languages** are a group of languages in the Eskean family that were spoken on Andremond during the Annemonni Era.

The Annmonnian languages originated on Andremond around the year 1830 and eventually went extinct around the year 2620.

The Annemonnian language family is comprised of five branches.

## History

The first Annemonnian languages started to evolve around 1830 from the colloquial version of Eske (later simplified and named Pre-Annemonni) by the scattered Umani tribes across Massea. The first known Annemonnian language was Proto-Massean spoken around 1840. By 2000 Proto-Massean had slit into two major dialects, Proto-Rattanic, spoken in the north by the Nercien, Pluvinian and Cantari tribes and Arkayo, spoken by the central tribes of Baslandi and Altstati.. The Proto-Rattanic was spread by the Narcien Empire and was further split by the year 2100 into Old-Narcien, spoken on the mainland and Panesteran which was spoken on the Eastern Islands.

Also in Massea, the language Proto-Balavi appeared around 2050, spoken in the south-west by the Gorski tribe.

### 2100-2200

Old-Narcien would split into two separate language dialects by the year 2180, Narcien which was spoken by the Empire and Old Itallese which was spoken by the everyday people of Cantaria and the surrounding lands. By 2200, the Narcien Empire had by conquered by the Grarl Empire and the Narcien Language was no longer the Lingua Franca of the area but the language held on in area like Pluvina and Uestia. Everyone in northern Massea were forced to speak Kriggron by the Grarl Empire but Old Italese clung on in the streets and countryside of Cantaria. Panesteran survived in the south of Massea in Sud, who had by 2172 been part of the Southern Resistance's Ombra Empire.

Down in the southern continent of Mallorea, a new language was forming called Old Llwynnic, spoken by the Kingdom of Gaelford which was spreading across the northern part of Mallorea and across the sea into Vestoria.

In the northern continent of Norendia the Annemonni language was still spoken with little change, now known as Northern Eske.

### 2200-2350

A few changes happened to the languages in Massea during this period, this includes:

* Narcien going extinct by 2260 with Kriggron replacing it.
* Old Itallese was still spoken in Cantaria but changing into Early Middle Itallese by 2300.
* Panesteran had slit into two mutual intelligible languages called Old Sudese, spoken by the people of Sud and Old Estadira spoken by the people of Hagragan by the year 2300.
* The Arkayo language was still spoken by the people of Baslando and Altstato until around 2300 where it began to separate into Old Istano, spoken in Altstato and Novalo, and Old Eskido, spoken in Baslando.
* Proto-Balavi had evolved into Old Pálčysky by 2300.
* The unknown ancient language of the Ydini people went extinct by 2250 and by 2350 were speaking Old Aythonlanth.

Elsewhere, Old Llwynnic had become the language of the Llwynnydd Empire spreading acroos the south from vestoria to Massea. By 2350 Old Llwynnic had become Llwynnic.

In Norendia, the Northern Eske Dialect had become its own language called Old Norsvic. The Northern Eske spoken in the Kriggron controlled territory had begun to be influenced by the Kriggron language and becoming Old Veujisch.
