<tr><td> | <tr><td>'''[[Proto-Olgish]]'''</td><td>Likely already covers multiple distinct dialects within the larger Ortûlékian continuum, definitively separates from [[Proto-Aribelo-Celdic]] after the [[Parting of the Peoples|Ortûlékian migrations]] in the '''early second millennium B.E.B.'''</td></tr> | ||
<tr><td colspan="2">As the Olgs expand along [[Cëlac]] and [[Brethan]] over the course of the following centuries, eastern and western dialects become increasingly distinct. Many Ortûlékian features are lost in the period. A lack of writing in this period makes dating linguistic shifts difficult, and the dialects likely remained in flux until the late Bronze Age.</td></tr> | |||
<tr><td>'''[[Old Olgish|Old Cëlacian]]'''</td><td>Defined to begin around '''1300 B.E.B.''', shortly before the oldest alphabetic writing of Olgish</td></tr> | |||
<tr><td>'''[[Old Brethanian]]'''</td><td>Held to begin slightly later, around '''1100 B.E.B.''' Initially spoken across Orinion but confined to small coastal and island communities by the end of the Bronze Age.</td></tr> | |||
<tr><td>'''[[Old Olgish Koiné]]'''</td><td>Emerges during the [[Iilish occupation of Belkondíl|Iilish Occupation]] and in [[Kingdom of Belkondíl|Enethin’s Kingdom]] as an amalgamation of the Cëlacian dialects, around the '''End of the Bronze Age'''. Language of the [[Lonsorigi#History|Old Lonsorigi]] and major clerical language of the [[Olgish High Kindgom]]</td></tr> | |||
<tr><td colspan="2">Despite its cultural dominance, the Koiné does not replace the Olgish dialects, which remain spoken throughout [[Belkondíl]] and the Olgish dominions in the [[Reknaya]], [[Geran]], and [[Seligon]] and independently evolve into several daughter languages.</td></tr> | |||
<tr><td>'''[[Old Wertian]]'''</td><td>Initially a dialect of Old Olgish; remains free from Koiné influence after the Wertians reject [[Enethin|Enethin’s]] dominion and emerges as its own language around the '''fifth or sixth century E.B.'''</td></tr> | |||
<tr><td>'''[[Old Corbian]]'''</td><td>Similarly independent of the Koiné. Emerges as a distinct idiom in the '''seventh century E.B.'''</td></tr> | |||
<tr><td>'''[[Liturgical Middle Olgish|Early Middle Olgish]]'''</td><td>Heavily influenced by the Koiné but retaining several unique features, the Cëlacian dialects evolve into early forms of Middle Olgish between the '''ninth and twelfth century E.B.''' This stage of the language is the source for [[Saint Fádin|Fádin’s]] Liturgical Olgish</td></tr> | |||
