This a priori language together with [[Aoma]] belong to the South-West-Herookuan language family deriving from [[Rinapri]]. The language itself suffered a decline during fifth and sixth era, but was soon revived and partly reconstructed based on ancient texts. The old Doslox writing system was also returned into use. Since the new language is a bit clumsy and spoken over a wide region, many different dialects have appeared. | ||
