	'''Old Izhkut'''(''dean ~~ishcott~~'', <small>Old Izhkut:</small> [[Help:IPA\|[ˈdʲɛn ~~iʒkou̯t~~]]]; [[Izhkut]]: ''mëja izhkut'', [[IPA for Izhkut\|[ˈmɛɟa iʒkut] [ˈmɛd͡ʒa iʒkut]]]), also called '''Pokht-Izhkut''' or '''Old Ishcot''', is a [[w:Classical language\|classical language]] of the Ilyic branch of the [[Taskaric languages]]. It originally developed in the Petrum region, where it was the official language of most of the Petrucian city-states, and was the native language of most of the "Proto-Izhkut" peoples that would later become the [[Izhkut]], [[Pokht]] and [[Ilyod]].		'''Old Izhkut'''(''dean'', <small>Old Izhkut:</small> [[Help:IPA\|[ˈdʲɛn]]]; [[Izhkut]]: ''mëja izhkut'', [[IPA for Izhkut\|[ˈmɛɟa iʒkut] [ˈmɛd͡ʒa iʒkut]]]), also called '''Pokht-Izhkut''' or '''Old Ishcot''', is a [[w:Classical language\|classical language]] of the Ilyic branch of the [[Taskaric languages]]. It originally developed in the Petrum region, where it was the official language of most of the Petrucian city-states, and was the native language of most of the "Proto-Izhkut" peoples that would later become the [[Izhkut]], [[Pokht]] and [[Ilyod]].

	Old Izhkut began to diverge into the Pokht-Izhkut languages around 10 UH; [[Ilyod]] was the first to be attested separately from Old Izhkut, when it was declared the [[w:National language\|national language]] of the emerging Kingdom of Ilyod(Old Izhkut: ''Iliodreag''; [[Ilyod]]: ''Myerilyud''). The growing [[Izhkut\|Izhkutrëa]] followed suit shortly after at the turn of the BH, declaring [[Izhkut]] the administrative language of Izhkutrëa. [[Pokht]], historically known for more conservative dialectology, took longer to be recognised as a separate language from Old Izhkut; this only occurred through Izhkut occupation, which, after invading and establishing Izhkut control over the former Pokht city-states, enforced a [[Izhkutifisation\|ban on the use of the Pokht language]], which logically required an actual [[Pokht#Dialectology\|definition of a "Pokht" language]].

			===A-fronting===
			"'''A-fronting'''" ([[Izhkut]]: ''A-budrean'') refers to the process in which the originally [[w:Open back unrounded vowel\|open back]] vowel /ɑ/ in Old Izhkut was fronted to a more [[w:Open central unrounded vowel\|central]] /ä/ or even [[w:Open front unrounded vowel\|front]] /a/ realisation. A-fronting was most common in [[Izhkut]] and [[Ilyod]] dialects, though it did not occur in the majority of [[Pokht]] dialects, where the originally open back pronunciation remained, exemplifying the more conservative phonological changes of Pokht.

			The [[w:Bilabial fricative\|bilabial fricatives]] /ɸ β/ were fronted to [[w:Labiodental fricative\|labiodental]] /f v/ in most descendants of Old Izhkut; however, some eastern [[Pokht]] varieties still preserve the original bilabial fricatives. Bilabial fricatives also appear in [[Colonial Izhkut]] as so-called "L-allophones"; as in, they appear as allophones of /f v/ before [[w:Lateral approximant\|lateral approximants]].

'''Old Izhkut'''(''dean ishcott'', <small>Old Izhkut:</small> [[Help:IPA|[ˈdʲɛn iʒkou̯t]]]; [[Izhkut]]: ''mëja izhkut'', [[IPA for Izhkut|[ˈmɛɟa iʒkut] [ˈmɛd͡ʒa iʒkut]]]), also called '''Pokht-Izhkut''' or '''Old Ishcot''', is a [[w:Classical language|classical language]] of the Ilyic branch of the [[Taskaric languages]]. It originally developed in the Petrum region, where it was the official language of most of the Petrucian city-states, and was the native language of most of the "Proto-Izhkut" peoples that would later become the [[Izhkut]], [[Pokht]] and [[Ilyod]].

Old Izhkut began to diverge into the Pokht-Izhkut languages around 10 UH; [[Ilyod]] was the first to be attested separately from Old Izhkut, when it was declared the [[w:National language|national language]] of the emerging Kingdom of Ilyod(Old Izhkut: ''Iliodreag''; [[Ilyod]]: ''Myerilyud''). The growing [[Izhkut|Izhkutrëa]] followed suit shortly after at the turn of the BH, declaring [[Izhkut]] the administrative language of Izhkutrëa. [[Pokht]], historically known for more conservative dialectology, took longer to be recognised as a separate language from Old Izhkut; this only occurred through Izhkut occupation, which, after invading and establishing Izhkut control over the former Pokht city-states, enforced a [[Izhkutifisation|ban on the use of the Pokht language]], which logically required an actual [[Pokht#Dialectology|definition of a "Pokht" language]].

Although spoken Old Izhkut is not intelligible with any modern descendant of the language, it still holds high prestige in Izhkut society; Old Izhkut is taught at a compulsory level from the start of middle school onwards, and prose was historically written almost exclusively in Old Izhkut until the publication of ''Blue Coasters'' in 222 BH. Although Izhkut [[w:Modernism|modernists]] have rejected the use of Old Izhkut and championed the use of modern Izhkut, Old Izhkut still takes an important part in Izhkut society.
