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, who wrote his works in the new phonetic, Windermere-based orthography. Skellan lexicon has been heavily influenced by [[Windermere]] and [[Tergetian]]. 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). Typologically, Skellan is a mostly analytic, topic-prominent, head-initial, usually V2 language. | 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, who wrote his works in the new phonetic, Windermere-based orthography.
