Imperial Affalhaqic

Proto-Affalhaqic represents the protolanguage that descended into Eastern, Imperial, and Western Affalhaqic. Its speakers were the original people whom developed cities and the state in the region. Gradually, as time progressed, the language diverged. Its daughters became the languages of various small city states/peer polities in the region that often fought with each other and peripheral cultures over slaves and agricultural land.

The proto-Affalhaqic described here is largely a phonology, word list, and elementary grammar sketch. Imperial Affalhaqic would gradually come to become the prestige dialect owing to the expansion of the placeholder empire, and all modern Affalhaqic languages are daughters of it.
