Evolution of Sabian

This page covers the potential evolution of a Vojvodina-based Romance language with a large amount of Slavic influence and a divergent evolution both in vocabulary and grammar. It covers the evolution in stages, with both the phonological and morphological covered.

Vulgar Latin to Proto Sabian

450 AD - 700 AD

This stage covers the transition from Vulgar Latin to Proto-Sabian. It covers the period from the end of the Roman empire, the occupation of the Avars, and the arrival of the Proto Slavs before their integration within the Sabian region and minor migrations to the Zemljask regions to the north.
