Proto-Elsic

Proto-Elsic Phonology

Proto-Elsic speakers were originally spread from the Calavan highlands in the east to the southern coast of the Athelian Peninsula. 2000 years ago, Proto-Elsic split into two branches, Proto-Kimukhti in the west and Proto-Pallisuit in the east. Proto-Fersanic speakers began to push in from the east around 1500 years ago resulting in the loss of much of Athelia. The Great Migrations that occured 800 years ago resulted in Pallisuit speakers pushing in from the east and taking over Kimukhti lands, leading to the extinction of the Kimukhti languages. The Kingdoms of Aupale(Aupaluk) and Aludence(Alutinaq) eventually sprung up some 300 years before the present. The two kingdoms were united under King Altice(Alutiiq) some 224 years ago who came in from the Calavan Highlands in the East. He  created a massive empire that stretched from Calava to the Northwestern shores of Athelia. The empire was divided under his two sons, Civiend(Qiviumut) and Nalicasser(Naleqatit). Around 153 years ago, the King of Osfan died. The nearest male relative to the throne was King Civiend(Kifjend) of Maeskell. He united Osfan and Maeskell under one kingdom, the Maeskello-Osfanic Commonwealth. He made Dokfrist in Osfan the capital and divided Maeskell into various duchies under his sons, eventually forming the Osfanic Confederation. Pallisut gradually lost more and more territories till it retained only the territories of Aupale and Aludence.(Maeskell will shift to speaking Adinian.)
