== Evolution of Skylandic ==
== Evolution of Skylandic ==
As unfortunate as it may seem, the ELRT hasn't found any sufficient amount of surviving records yet of the language's early and middle stages. But they did made an end-to-end evolutionary list of the language starting from Proto-Germanic (PGmc) or sometimes Proto-West Germanic (PWGm). All thanks to help of the Great Sage. The sound changes are shown below, in no particular order.
