'''Flũta''' is an evolution of Proto-Flewtish ''*flȳdʰa'', meaning "Blooming" or "Saturated". The reason for this name is that the regions that Flewtish speakers settled were far more greener and developed than their previous homeland. Flewtish is possibly a [[w:Paleosiberian languages|Paleo-siberian]] language that through migration reached it's current territory. This can be further supported by similarities with the [[w:Yeniseian languages|Yeniseian]] languages, like having a pitch accent, vowel harmony and vowel length distinction. The most likely origin of the language is near the modern-day city of Bratsk in Russia.

Flewtish, from it's early years, was influenced by Mongolic, Turkic and later Indo-European and Uralic languages. The most obvious example would be the large amount of Finnic loanwords into Flewtish (eg. Кӣлъиту "to converse") but even titles from the Flewtish Kingdom such as "Gǎngÿán /ʔgâŋʸán/" (Leader, possibly related to Khagan), "Tãngṽrǐ /ʔtæ̃ŋʷɾiː/" (Same origin as Tengri) and "Tãěrṽágn /ʔtæ̃ɾ.wáŋ/" (Local ruler, related to Tarkhan). On the Indo-European side, the word "цӧѡўӻўг /ˈt͡sø.wy.ɣyg/" (Sheep) is probably borrowed from the Proto-Indo-European word '''*h₂ówis''' and the word "гамнегъ" (milking, from PIE ''*h₂melǵ-'').
Following harsh winters in the area and raids from other local tribes, migrations westwards began in search of a better homeland. Eventually, after ~1000 years, Flewtish people decided to settle to modern day Arkhangelsk (Tengwrikutt in Flewtish) and the areas around, where their language would remain. Small pockets of their language that settled in the way during that migration period survived for a few more centuries before being assimilated to neighboring nations.


Flewtish can be categorized in four major ''historical periods'', shown below. Flewtish writings first emerged in ~100 CE in syllabaries, and the first consistent writing down of the language begun with the Latin alphabet and christianization of the population through wars and conquering, as well as contact and trading:

The most obvious example would be the large amount of Turkic and Finnic loanwords into Flewtish (eg. Кӣлъиту "to converse") but even titles from the states with Flewtish rule such as "Gǎngÿán /ʔgâŋʸán/" (Leader, possibly related to Khagan), "Tãngṽrǐ /ʔtæ̃ŋʷɾiː/" (Same origin as Tengri) and "Tãěrṽágn /ʔtæ̃ɾ.wáŋ/" (Local ruler, related to Tarkhan). On the Indo-European side, the word "оѡўг /ˈówyg/" (Sheep) is probably borrowed from the Proto-Indo-European word '''*h₂ówis''' (Or perhaps from Proto-Balto-Slavic) and the word "ғамегь" (milking, from PIE ''*h₂melǵ-'').
# '''Proto-Flewtish'''
## An entirely reconstructed language, with its era set from ~4000 BCE to 100 CE. Through internal reconstruction, there is pretty accurate information about it.
 
# '''Old Flewtish'''
The oldest written form of the language, primarily using syllabaries.
 
# '''Flutvas Ewett'''
## Literally meaning "Greater Flewtish", this is the stage of the language (Between 650 to 1600) which saw the rise of the Flewtish Kingdom and the christianization of the population. This is also when the Latin script was first adopted. A lot of formal texts are still codified in a late form of this stage.
 
# '''Modern Flewtish'''
The modern form of the language.
