Kyrdan languages: Difference between revisions

A few languages left little to no written records and are extinct, among those '''Old Kirdum''' is the most well known thanks to several inscriptions and temple metal tablets. It is likely that Kērsalur slowly substituted Kirdum, becoming a new prestige variety and liturgical language. An evidence of this is the bilingual inscription from the temple of Entirŋum, which tells about the sermon, delivered in that temple by the Green Goddess with the Kērsalur words on top and a smaller text and a less precise translation in Kirdum (this is also the only bilingual text with Kirdum words). Other language, known from another Kirdum inscription the lake Aita, was called '''Qaǯašale''', but nothing is known about it apart from its name. The inscription also implied the existence of other languages in that area, but no names were mentioned in it.
