Proto-Ash-Ish: Difference between revisions

The PAI speakers would have lived in a mountainous area during a period of glaciation which forced them to seek new lands. Those who would become speakers of Ish left the mountains altogether and found a temperate climate where the sea was not frozen over and became skilled sailors. Those who would go on to speak Ash delved further into the mountains, finding oases of heat in geologically active areas and came to worship the dual nature of fire. Eventually the ice age subsided and perhaps following volcanic eruptions they followed in the footsteps of their long lost kin and arrived at the ocean which now reached much further inland. This is where the two groups would eventually meet again and new culture combining the old with the new would develop.
