Tevrés is a member of the Hilero-Aeranid group of languages, which evolved from several dialects of Late Aeranir spoken in Hileria after the fall of the Aeranid Empire in the 12th century PFA.  Tevrés began to blossom as a literary language in the 6th and 7th centuries PFA, mainly from southern port cities under Fasser control, such as Azcotive and Lludazfassín.  Modern Tevrés is most heavily influenced by these southern dialects and the dialects spoken around Çien-lli-Tevrén to the north, especially after these two regions were united in 36 PFA into Tevrén Vux.

Tevrés is closely related to the Hilero-Vallic group of languages in the north east, such as Morrazol.  It is less related to Ilesse, which is spoken in the region of Ilea.  Nevertheless, these languages are often conflated under the banner of 'Tevrés,' or more commonly 'Hilerán.'

The word ''tevrés'' descends from Aeranir ''tibōrissus'', referring to the Tiborer, an Anderian tribe which settled throughout Hileria in the wake of the Aeranid Empire.  The Tiborer also lent their name to Tevrén, although it should be noted that ''tevrén'' appears to be a dialectal borrowing, as the expected reflex of ''tibōrāniuṅ'' would be ''**tevraño''.

All Hilero-Aeranid languages, including Ilesse, which is technically an Eastern-Aeranid language, are often colloquially referred to as ''tevrés''.  The term ''hilerán'' is occasionally used for this purpose instead.  The languages of Tevrén Vux may be called ''lla çear vux'' (proper language), ''llos tevrés vux'' (proper Tevrés), or ''vuxán'' in order to differentiate it from other ''hilerán'' languages.

 

Like many Aeranid languages, Tevrés was historically referred to as ''iráni'', from ''aerānïdus'' (See S'entigneis ''eraind'', Ilesse ''rañu'', Iscariano ''rànido'') to differentiate it from the other language families spoken in Hileria.
