	Roōka's law was preserved into most dialects of Modern Moshurian, though the [[Moshurian#Sépenzg dialect\|Sépenzg dialect]] still preserved Old Moshurian phonology. Strangely the morphology has stayed on course with other Modern Moshurian dialects.

	Moshurian is of the [[Yeldhic languages\|Yeldhic]] language superfamily, which also includes languages like [[Ilda]] and [[Barbuz]]. Within the superfamily, it is of the '''Paleoyeldhic''' branch: a deriviation of [[Proto-Yeldhic]] spoken by the first Proto-Yeldhic farmers in the fertile Ulmic Crescent and around the rivers of Zád and Pêrush. The Moshurians are of a Paleoyeldhic origin, and are ~~most likely ethnically related to~~ the ''β''-Paleoyeldhics, who advanced south into the wider Tarám River Basin and settled in the temperate Munsanukh Valley and the coast of Tuloor Lake, where the split between the Tulooric and Najmunsaic languages occured around 3000 UH. Moshurian is of the Tulooric branch.		Moshurian is of the [[Yeldhic languages\|Yeldhic]] language superfamily, which also includes languages like [[Ilda]] and [[Barbuz]].
