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
