Maro-Ephenian languages
Iscaric branch
The Iscaric branch of Maro-Ephenian languages whose earliest known members were spoken in and around the Iscarian region in the 3rd and 4th millennia bnia. The best known member of this group is Aeranir, the only language to survive past the classical period. All other languages became extinct in the 2nd millennium bnia, when their speakers were assimilated into the Aeranid Empire, and switched to standard Aeranir. Little is known of these extinct languages, as most of their archeological evidence is assumed to be buried within the Great Desert.
Aeranir
Aeranir Aeranir was the language first spoken in the city of Telrhamir, and later across Iscaria, Ephenia, Suria, and Eubora, as it spread with the Aeranid Empire. During that time, it was the dominant language of administration and commerce, along with Dalitian, in the Empire. Even after the Collapse, it remained in use across the Empire's former holdings, and developed into the Aeranid languages around the beginning of the 1st millennium bnia. However, as a written languages, it remained in use as a lingua franca throughout Ephenia, for administration, science, and religion.
