The beginning of the modern Skellan language, dated to ca. fT 1150dd (fT 1932), is often credited to the Skellan philosopher and poet Oovsari Vyhalv. The name ''Eevo'' refers to the fact that it had its origins as a Skellan koiné. Modern Skellan has been a living language for about 360 years, approximately 1932-2292 (1150dd-13b0dd).
