With the dawn of the Killistic era, the Natale tribes gained access to invaluable knowledge, given by the ascension of their proclaimed king, '''Ribel Zömeri'''. This period marked a significant rise in literacy rates within the nascent and unified Natale monarchy, which spanned from 1203 to 1834. During this era, the Natalician language saw its first instances of written records and experienced a flourishing of printed works. | |||

The earliest known book containing written evidence of the Natalician language is titled "Natåltïå kočåculaï orūnza" (Natalician Guide Book). This seminal work was authored and published by the late Ulun Cilesli Irkete in the year 1210. Subsequently, numerous documents have been preserved through generations and are now treasured artifacts housed in the '''Natalician Grand Museum of Literature and Artifacts''' in Celicia. | |||

Many scholars | Many historians and literary scholars have debated the relationship between Classic and Old Natalician, with some arguing that they are identical. However, the scarcity of evidence has left these claims unresolved. Scholar '''Iček Friktinäm''' posits: ''"Old Natalician may be the result of the incorporation of new local loanwords, and the diverse dialects might have led to deviations from the Kasenian roots of the standard spoken Natalician of that time."'' | ||
Old Natalician | Old Natalician is characterized by significantly different grammar and vocabulary compared to modern Natalician. The most notable differences include the presence of ''vowel harmony'' and ''grammatical cases''. The language featured four types of vowel harmony and three grammatical cases: '''Nominative''', '''Accusative''', and '''Genitive'''. Additionally, distinct suffixes and verb conjugations highlight the major grammatical differences. | ||
