Introduction

Proto-East is the ancestor of most of the languages from Jamania to the Atalan Waters. It was spoken around 6-7,000 years ago south of Mt. Isati and east of the Atalan waters. Its hypothetical Urheimat, backed up by the religious theories of the Prolefisians, is the plains and hills around the current city of Tas. Over time, the language split into the current ones spoken today. The migration of speakers caused lexical divergence, morphological change and sound shifts in Proto-East's dialects.

Proto-East had a relatively complex noun declension, differentiating two genders, 7-9 cases and three numbers. Verbs only distinguished between two numbers, two aspects, reflexive and active voice, four moods, and two tenses.
