	'''Etzeá'''(''etzeà''; [[~~Help:~~IPA\|[ed͡zeɑ]]]) is the secondary language spoken on the [[:File:Etzean.jpeg\|island of Etzeán]] primarily by the Etzeá people, who primarily live in rural areas; however, it has also become a common second language of the indigenous [[Myshon]] and the various [[Tuzak languages\|Tuzak]] peoples.

	The name ''etzeà'''s etymology is heavily debated, though one theory is that it developed agglutinatively by the combination of one word and a case marker: Proto-Yeldhic ''eðu'', "land" and ablative case marker ''-ē'', or in other words, ''eðʷē'', "away from the mainland". However, this theory has been criticised, as the actual Etzeá descendant of ''eðu'' is {{cont\|edyu\|y}} "earth, land", so the reconstructed descendant form of ''eðʷē'' should be ''edyê'', not ''etzeà'' or ''Etzeàn''.

	The first Etzeic peoples were a Proto-Yeldhic people who probably inhabited Kokiso Point, the closest coastal landmark on Talkoch to Etzeán Island. They probably arrived on Etzeán Island around 2400 UH, just in time before the development of the Paleoyeldhic languages on the mainland in 2370 UH. On Etzeán Island, the Etzeic peoples spread all the way to the Tûzogyâud Range(Etzeá: [[~~Help:~~IPA\|[tuːzoɡjaːud]]]) by 1750 UH. The areas around Mount Ogoñi(Etzeá: ''Ogoñigyed'') was settled later, around 1600 UH.

	Around 880 UH, the Taskaric [[Néekh]] people first arrived by boat on the eastern side of the Tûzogyâud Range(Néekh: ''tzêgoz Tîkhgudd'' ~~[[Help:IPA\|[tɪxɡud̪]]]~~), rapidly settling much of the Tûznam Basin. According to Etzeá legend, the first contact between the two peoples occurred in 700 UH, when the king of the Gòtyaz(Etzeá: [[~~Help:~~IPA\|[ɡɔcaz]]]) people decided to follow the Sunyr(Etzeá and Néekh: ''sunîr'') river to its source, crossing the treacherous Tûzogyâud for the first time in doing so.
