Urlogrok is a sparsely documented and hypothesized ancestor to [[Grekelin|Grekelin]], probably a Greek-influenced Hungarian dialect or vice versa. No evidence of it exists so far; Any knowledge is by comparing Proto-Grekelin and Hungarian, before the two became completely seperate languages. The language is generally assumed to be have been spoken in Hungarian villages in Southern Slovakia, where enough isolation exists for a new language to form.
Urlogrok was a highly divergent dialect of Greek spoken in a small area in Slovakia and Hungary, possibly by Greek mercenaries that settled there. It is considered the ancestor language to Grekelin (Although it may have simply played a significant role in it's differentiation from Greek) as it went extinct little before the first [[Proto-Grekelin|Proto-Grekelin]] writings were born.


Urlogrok appears to be mutually intelligible with Hungarian, although its orthography and grammar may be slightly twisted:

<b>Hungarian:</b>''a gyors barna róka átugrik a lusta kutyán''<br>
<b>Urlogrok:</b>''*ta gyor' barna roke atugrik ta luste kutyan''

Urlogrok is probably behind many different features of Grekelin, such as the plural syllable (Which was used initially along with a plural suffix), the Grekelin "ε" sound (Comes from Hungarian "eː"), and the noun declensions. Urlogrok appears to also have been the reason behind the use of the Latin alphabet to write Grekelin, as it was done during the 18th century.

Urlogrok was a highly divergent dialect of Greek spoken in a small area in Slovakia and Hungary, possibly by Greek mercenaries that settled there. It is considered the ancestor language to Grekelin (Although it may have simply played a significant role in it's differentiation from Greek) as it went extinct little before the first Proto-Grekelin writings were born.

History

Urlogrok appears to have been spoken in the 10th century by a small Hellenized group living in Slovakia, the Urlogreckz, who were mercenaries working for the Hungarian king, but eventually settled the lands they worked in. The language eventually came to be used by the Greek refugee population arriving in Hungary during the 13th-16th century, since many of them settled the same villages. Eventually Grekelin was born out of it, although Urlogrok could have been long extinct when Proto-Grekelin was spoken, due to the Magyarization done to the population as well as the use of other European languages by the nobility.

Urlogrok appears to be a combination of the words Urlo (Ural) and Grok (Possibly an old way of writing Greek in Hungarian). Urlogrok as a word has only been mentioned once, which indicates that the population did not consider Urlogrok as a seperate language
