Tevrés: Difference between revisions

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 BCA.  Tevrés began to blossom as a literary language in the 6th and 7th centuries BCA, mainly from southern port cities under Fasser control, such as Cotive and Ludd-as-Fasri'in.  Modern Tevrés is most heavily influenced by these southern dialects and the dialects spoken around Çien-a-Tevrén to the north, especially after these two regions were united in 36 BCA into Tevrén Vuy.  The word ''tevrés'' descends from [[Coeñar_Aerānir|Aeranir]] ''tibōrissus'', referring to the ''Tibors'', an Anderian tribe which settled throughout Hileria in the wake of the Aeranid Empire, named after the river ''Tibus'', along which they settled.  The Tibors also lent their name to Tevrén, from ''tibōrāniun''.  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 Vuy may be called ''lla fruema vuya'' (proper language), ''uy tevrés vuys'' (proper Tevrés), or ''vuyán'' in order to differentiate it from other ''hilerán'' languages.
