Ancient Hivantish was a classical satem IE language with a grammar very similar to today's Balto-Slavic languages and had a significant corpus of druidic lore. This continued through the Middle Hivantish period where the language underwent considerable simplification, along the lines of Modern Greek, and an influx of words from Inuit, Irish, Greek, Romance and [[Azalic]] languages, especially English. Modern Hivantish is very similar to Middle Hivantish but underwent a spelling reform due to the sometimes idiosyncratic and irregular ways in which non-Romance vocabulary in Hivantish was transcribed in the Roman alphabet.

'''Modern Hivantish''' (''Úruhivantisur tåzvar'' /u:ruhivandisur tO:zvar/) is the most widely spoken descendant of [[Hivantish]], and it's inspired by Modern Greek and Icelandic, drawing on phonological, diachronic and grammatical similarities between the two languages.
