Verse:Calémere: Difference between revisions

The "New World" (all other continents) is nowadays often dominated (esp. Púríton and northern Céránento) by speakers of Evandorian languages introduced in the colonial era, but some areas where native languages survive have a very high diversity. Such clusters include southern Púríton, large parts of inland Fárásen, eastern Ovítioná, and inland Écáreton (Queáten's largest island). In the Old World, the areas with the widest language diversity are western and southwestern Védren and the southern rainforests of Márusúturon. In most of the landmass, however, successive migrations and invasions have led to only a few major groups to prevail. Scattered isolates (or members of other families, including e.g. Yombu-Raina languages in central-western Márusúturon or all non-Chlouvānem Lahob languages) still persist in some areas, especially more remote mountains, taiga, or other isolated areas.<br/>The Nduagaz languages are the only language family that was present both in the Old and the New World before the colonial era: from the probable Urheimat in southwestern Púríton (where three subbranches are located), the speakers spread in many islands of Queáten, forming two new branches: Inward and Outward Melau. The Outward Melau branch itself has four sub-branches, two only found on the islands of Queáten, while the other two (Heiga and Litoic) are also found in the islands off Márusúturon (the Southeastern Islands of the Inquisition): some Heiga languages are spoken in the southern Leyunakā islands, while the Litoic branch, apart from Hysa spoken on Hysa Island in Queáten, is spoken on Tanomalē and nearby islands, on the Nukahucē islands, and has a geographical outlier in the islands of Kaikǣpē, at the opposite end of the Jahībušanī Sea, off the Southern Inquisition.
