Believed to have been spoken from around 5000 to 3500 a.E., Proto-Yolderan is the linguistic ancestor of a wide range of languages in Yolder and Ausmira, including modern Angaran.

With the Angaran restoration also came a cultural movement to retake the language of Angara. This saw the rise of many new roots that had previously been abandoned, as well as the heavy use of compound words to mean concepts that were covered by loanwords. This movement was largely literary and a product of the "cultural elite" of the peninsula. As such, many of these words are now used in more formal speech and registers.
