Ancient Yeldha: Difference between revisions

'''Ancient Yeldha'''{{efn|Also called '''Common Yeldha''', '''Common Ancient Yeldha''', '''Old Yeldhic''' or '''Common'''. The Sabhoc variety is referred to as '''Sciogh''' [[Help:IPA|/skɪj/]], always with an initial capital.}}{{efn|Common Ancient Yeldha: ''chláenn'', ''sciogh chláenn''; Common IPA: [[Help:IPA|/xlaːɲ/]]; [[Moshurian]] Yeldha: ''yeldhagh'n''; Sabhoc Yeldha: ''Sciogh'' [[Help:IPA|/skɪj/]]}} is a [[w:Classical language|classical]] and [[w:Liturgical language|liturgical]] language belonging to the [[Yeldhic languages|Yeldhic]] language family. Vigorously documented by a mysterious group of monks known only as the ''Caeghdiúll'' [[Help:IPA|/kəjdjuːɫ/]] around 2,000 UH, Ancient Yeldha was the ''lingua franca'' of Talkoch for several thousand years despite a seeming lack of a significant native speaker group. Its falling out of use in favour of [[Moshurian]] as a ''lingua franca'' marked the beginning of the BH era, though it remains to this day a significantly used language in Talkoch science alongside [[Ilda]] and Moshurian. Ancient Yeldha is a sacred language in the Sabhoc religion and has been in liturgical use since 10 BH; Sabhoc speakers have since developed their own regulated variety of the language mostly outside of ''Caeghdiúll'' influence.
