Classical, but not ancient; sacred, but not divine; once spoken in every corner of Elondor, sup-planting language upon language as they spread across plains and highlands, only to eventually be replaced themselves by a younger generation of vernaculars—the Ortûlékian languages have left their mark on Elondor, uncontestably remaining even long after the last of them has van-ished from the sphere of everyday speech.<br> | Classical, but not ancient; sacred, but not divine; once spoken in every corner of Elondor, sup-planting language upon language as they spread across plains and highlands, only to eventually be replaced themselves by a younger generation of vernaculars—the '''Ortûlékian languages''' have left their mark on Elondor, uncontestably remaining even long after the last of them has van-ished from the sphere of everyday speech.<br> | ||
This language family was my first—beginning in August 2013 with the construction of what would become [[Middle Olgish]] on cruising altitude over the Pacific, followed soon by the conception of [[High Aribelian]] and [[Iilish language|Iilish]]—and has in the past eight years undergone more revisions and expansions than any other. They have spawned two of the great literary languages of the [[Lécaronian Empire|Imperial Era]], Middle Olgish and High Aribelian (with Iilish as an adopted third), and are hence perhaps the most prominent language group in everything I have written so far, and inseparably entwined in the history of two great states, [[Aribel]] and the [[Lécaronian Empire]]. | This language family was my first—beginning in August 2013 with the construction of what would become [[Middle Olgish]] on cruising altitude over the Pacific, followed soon by the conception of [[High Aribelian]] and [[Iilish language|Iilish]]—and has in the past eight years undergone more revisions and expansions than any other.
