The Moran languages (known as ''Teqavi'' in Mtari) is spoken on the Mora Islands, located in the South Ocean (''Ištaxvi''). The family consists of five languages, which form a dialect continuum. Prior to the Mtari colonization Moran languages were also spoken on the continent of Irgva. Two languages (Tipmeđaqoh and Išiartoh) had survived long enough on the Afartot peninsula to be documented, but they both became extinct along with many other native Irgva langauges. The Mtari colony (called ''Mtovrex'') expanded greatly occupying almost the third of the continent and all the useful land available there and the native population was either assimilated or simply went extinct.

The Moran languages (known as Teqavi in Mtari) is spoken on the Mora Islands, located in the South Ocean (Ištaxvi). The family consists of five languages, which form a dialect continuum. Prior to the Mtari colonization Moran languages were also spoken on the continent of Irgva. Two languages (Tipmeđaqoh and Išiartoh) had survived long enough on the Afartot peninsula to be documented, but they both became extinct along with many other native Irgva langauges. The Mtari colony (called Mtovrex) expanded greatly occupying almost the third of the continent and all the useful land available there and the native population was either assimilated or simply went extinct.
