*~~Isolate~~

Isolate. Dialects will be added as they development.

===Symbols===

*(†)-Symbolizes a Dead Language.

*(?)- Symbolizes a tenative tie which may be broken or ignored, in favour of making the language an isolate or cramming it into a different family.

*( * )- Symbolizes a Language which may be renamed due to further development.

*( + ) - Symbolizes a language used without explicit permission from the author [though material is under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License]. Name and/or more substantial changes may be made should the original authors later contact me to object [Most have given me explicit approval to do what I will, others I could not reach].

==Sprachbunds==

So'raan-~~Pyritto-Galavic [Western Sprachbund]~~

Collemosia Sprachbund [Pyritto-Galavo-So'raan]- Spoken in throughout the region of Collemosia, the English name derived through the Latin "Collebus Nemorosus", The Forested Hilly Lands, which is an approximate semantic translation of the native names for the region which include; Kaetruylyyra, Cwerêlâra, Cérúlíra and Kaetrulerin.

*Toryl [Dominant Politically]

*So'raan [Dominant Academically]

*Fén Ghír [Peripheral]

Kergen

Kergen- The Kergen Tribes are a rather insular people, believed to be amongst the first to arrive on the Islands, their siblings were pushed north or forced to assimilate to the waves of Collemosian and Eramosian migrants, the Kergen take their name from the Tribe that united them into their loose confederacy. Because of their insular ways, their language is perhaps the "purest" and the strangest in all of Borealis.

*Kergen

*Anan Càn

Line 100:

Line 104:

*Fén Ghír [Northern Settlements]

Zewani-Sarem-Meiya [~~Eastern Sprachbund~~]

Trinationes Sprachbund [Zewani-Sarem-Meiya]- Derived from the Three Nations in Latin, it refers to the three principle nations of the Sprachbund which traditionally recognize eachother as the "civilized" nations in the region. Tribes and smaller nations in the region are also heavily influenced by these principle languages. The native name for this in Meiya is Kudoya [Kodōdi in Chilai dialect].

*Zewani

*Saremitas

==Notes==

*Meiya is large and serves as a rough China analogue; it consists of numerous dialects, none of them are politically independant. Refering to it as a isolate is dodgy, rather it has absorbed most of its relatives.

*Meiya is large and serves as a rough China analogue; it consists of numerous dialects, none of them are politically independant. Refering to it as a isolate is dodgy, rather it has long ago absorbed most of its relatives as Latin did.

*Viha invovles a lot of conjugation and declension. The rootwords far are largely heavily mutated Meiyan loanwords but rather than being a largely isolating language as Meiyan, they are more aggulative as the Eralih. It was developed independantly of Eralih and may yet develop into an isolate.

*Kergan is severly underdeveloped but is an isolate. They may serve as approximate Basque analogues in terms of linguistic history [though culturally are closer to Cossacks and/or Ukranians].

*Southern Islands were never named outside of a working Meiyan title. They are currently a blank slate.

*Castrian is derived from "Castra", Latin for Hill-Fort to reflect the Mountainous lifestyle of the People.

Line 148:

*I have limited experience with sound changes.

*Players [including myself initially] were interested in keeping to "sounds they could pronounce" so many languages are "English with a lot sounds cut out and a couple added in to make it sound foreign". This might make it harder to create a retroactive history for them, though I may start developing stronger accents for them as I get more comfortable with phonology.
