'''Old Wiobian''' (''wiöƀem'') is a highly divergent Gamedan language spoken in Wiober in the Jankmin area. (cf. Wiobian ''Janker'' 'ocean' < PJank {{recon|''jenkār''}} 'ibid.' (< PGmd {{recon|''wjénq-''}} 'water') + {{recon|''-ōr''}} 'collective suffix') Spoken as a living language until 500 v.C., it is a classical language in the region. Modern Wiobian is written following Old Wiobian orthographical conventions, but is pronounced much differently than Old Wiobian.
