'''Old Gaju''' (English: /'gɑːd͡ʒuː/, Old Gaju: ['gaɟu], [[Rttirri]]: [ˈkɑcu]) was an old form of the Gaju language, spoken by the Gaju people in eastern [[Verse:Rttirria|Rttirria]] around the 14th century CE. It was spoken over a much larger area than modern Gaju is: over most of eastern Rttirria. It is a member of the Rttirrian language family, descended from the Proto-South-Rttirrian langauge that is also the ancestor of modern [[Rttirri]], the nation's official language. | '''Old Gaju''' (English: /'gɑːd͡ʒuː/, Old Gaju: ['gaɟu], [[Rttirri]]: [ˈkɑcu]) was an old form of the [[Gaju]] language, spoken by the Gaju people in eastern [[Verse:Rttirria|Rttirria]] around the 14th century CE.

The old language is known in a very complete state, through comparison of modern Gaju dialects and several vintage inscriptions by Rttirri academics that described the Gaju people's speech and transcribed some of their utterances. It was an unwritten language at the time, but is variously written in the [[w:Latin script|Latin]] alphabet and (like the modern Gaju language) the Rttirri abugida, which is a Brahmic script. | The old language is known in a very complete state, through comparison of modern Gaju dialects and several vintage inscriptions by Rttirri academics that described the Gaju people's speech and transcribed some of their utterances.
