The history of '''Ahāmatya''' as a constructed language is traceable to its earliest incarnations some ten or so years, the oldest, unchanged words being '''ive''' "bird" and '''tura''' "strong". Since the development of the language has been a continuous evolution, with starts and stops, it is difficult to put an exact timeline of evolution. It is an on-going process, and will likely remain so. | The history of '''Ahāmatya''' as a constructed language is traceable to its earliest incarnations some ten or so years, the oldest, unchanged words being '''ive''' "bird" and '''tura''' "strong".

Because much of the creative works and worldbuilding for which '''Ahāmatya''' guides concern themselves with cultural contact, exchange, and conflict, the two dominant languages of the world, '''Ahāmatya''' and '''Eḥeiθymme''' are deliberately designed to be dissimilar, with regards to the make-up and feel of the language. The inspirations of the language include, but are not limited to, Sanskrit, Finnish, Russian, Latin, English, Quenya, Ancient Greek, and Classical Persian. While some overlap exists in the inspirations for '''Ahāmatya''' and '''Eḥeiθymme''', any overt similarities are deliberately avoided. | Because much of the creative works and worldbuilding for which '''Ahāmatya''' guides concern themselves with cultural contact, exchange, and conflict, the two dominant languages of the world, '''Ahāmatya''' and '''Eḥeiθymme''', are deliberately designed to be dissimilar, with regards to the make-up and feel of the language.

More in-depth, detailed documentation is forthcoming, which includes in-universe terminology for grammatical categories and descriptions. The author hopes to someday have the creative works published. | More in-depth, detailed documentation is forthcoming, which includes in-universe terminology for grammatical categories and descriptions.
