	Prior to Fádin’s day, the most widely used writing system is the [[Old Olgish alphabet]], which more directly corresponds to the [[Old Olgish runes]]. Considered a mere style variant rather than an independent script, it is used alongside Lécaronian writing for centuries, only gradually falling in disfavour for its more cumbersome letter shapes. It remains in sporadic use until the [[Late Imperial Era]], particularly in the context of inscriptions, dedications, and other short texts meant to evoke the [[Lonsorigi#Book of Belkondíl\|age of Olgish heroes]].

	From the mid-twelfth century, the Middle Olgish Unrest begins to diminish, although it will not fully subside for another four hundred years. This second, more stable and consistent, stage of the language is considered '''Middle Olgish proper''' and the idiom generally referred to by the term ''Middle Olgish'' alone. It shows significant divergences from Liturgical Middle Olgish, from which it is over a century removed, but remains intelligible with the holy language, especially to those intimately familiar with Fádin’s Lonsorigi and their, from the Middle Olgish perspective, rather peculiar vocabulary.

It shows significant divergences from Liturgical Middle Olgish, from which it is over a century removed, but remains intelligible with the holy language, especially to those intimately familiar with Fádin’s Lonsorigi and their, from the Middle Olgish perspective, rather peculiar vocabulary.

			While official religious texts themselves are always kept in their Liturgical Middle Olgish form, many prayers, formulas, and other turns of phrase popularized in Fádin’s formal register are eventually ‘colloquialized’ into a form closer to spoken Middle Olgish, often retaining the original wording and structure but adjusting pronunciation and sometimes grammar to more closely resemble the vernacular.

	After more than three centuries of relative stability, the final waves of the Unrest begin to emerge in the early third century L.R. (the 16th century E.B.), as the number of everyday Olgish speakers rapidly dwindles in an increasingly cosmopolitan [[Lécaron]]. The ensuing sound changes again are significant, and Middle Olgish transitions into [[New Olgish]] around the mid-third century. In Seligon, the dialect of the Olgish-speaking but linguistically fairly isolated [[Northern Feldin]] diverges independently from Middle Olgish around 200 years later and is considered an independent language, [[Northern Feldic]].
