Ancient Nivarese is a Southern Evandorian language, and thus related to [[Auralian]], Gazimyük, and the Agrôkian languages. It shares features common to all early attested Evandorian languages, thus there are still many visible similarities with Íscégon, but it also has the typical traits of Southern Evandorian languages, like its development of a construct state. | Ancient Nivarese is a Southern Evandorian language, and thus related to [[Auralian]], Gazimyük, and the Agrôkian languages.

Ancient Nivarese is a language I blatantly made as a Calemerian analogue to Ancient Greek. Nivaren's location in Evandor and its geography aren't even that different to what Greece in Europe is, and overall Ancient Nivarese's history of contacts with the Íscégon world is pretty similar to the Latin-Ancient Greek one. Partially this was because I transposed to Calémere the alt-Earth setting I had been using before, and I simply mapped Nivaren to Greece. My earlier version of Ancient Nivarese was, accordingly, mostly inspired by Greek even if still different; the current one I am developing only marginally keeps that, while I decided for an aesthetic more inspired by Hebrew and Aramaic (even if the language itself is completely different). | |||
