The Moshurian culture originates in the [[Proto-Yeldhic|Paleoyeldhic]] cultures that initially settled Munsanukh Valley, who's indigenous inhabitants had been pushed further south. A landslide blocked off the exits of the Valley, leading to an extended period of isolation from other Paleoyeldhic cultures, eventually forming into Koftábriąc Yeldha. Koftábriąc Yeldha then split into the Tulooric and Najmunsaic branch, where Early Moshurian developed in the Tulooric branch from Proto-Tulooric, while languages such as Aquq | The Moshurian culture originates in the [[Proto-Yeldhic|Paleoyeldhic]] cultures that initially settled Munsanukh Valley, who's indigenous inhabitants had been pushed further south.

Their exonym of ''Moshurian'' comes from a nomadic legend of the god of travel and nomads, Dündŵęk, who traveled to Tuloor Lake(the homeland of the Moshurians) in search of an inn to rest. The Moshurians had plenty of inns(''möşhüř'' as they are called in Ancient Yeldha), and Dündŵęk was finally able to rest. After departing, he thanked the Moshurians, and later mentioned them to the other gods as simply ''möşhüřiànöřmà'', or "inn people". This exonym stuck within nomadic circles, who then passed the exonym to the more settled peoples of Talkoch. | Their exonym of ''Moshurian'' comes from a nomadic legend of the god of travel and nomads, Dündŵęk, who traveled to Tuloor Lake(the homeland of the Moshurians) in search of an inn to rest.
