Proto-Flewtish is the reconstructed common ancestor to all the [[Flewtish]] dialects today, spoken somewhere in the southeast of Russia and northern parts Mongolia, all the way to [[w:Kamchatka|Kamchatka]]. Since Flewtish is made up of a number of dialects with regional variations, the reconstruction is done by comparing the dialectal "extremes" within the spoken area, usually [[Kvuppeg Fletwish]] in Eastern Finland and Chukwan Flewtish near the Ukhta river.

As the Flewtish speakers reached modern day Finland and the Arkhangelsk oblast, their language became the lingua franca of the area, wiping out the local languages that existed there. Due to the harsh conditions of the area, along with the socio-linguistic differences of different areas (eg. Turkic and Uralic tribes often conquered Flewtish-speaking areas by force, creating a new [[w:Adstratum|adstratum]]), Flewtish started differentiating into a series of dialects. The most distant one, Kvuppeg Flewtish (Spoken in Eastern Finland, specifically around the city Kuumu) is still spoken today, after 4000 years, with over 100.000 speakers. | As the Flewtish speakers reached modern day Finland and the Arkhangelsk oblast, their language became the lingua franca of the area, wiping out the local languages that existed there.

==History== | |||
Proto-Flewtish was initially a series of closely related dialects spoken in the far east of what is today China, Russia, and a slight bit of Mongolia. It's history before that is completely unknown. During the late 14th century BCE, following harsh winters, raids from other tribes in the area, and the need for a better climate, Proto-Flewtish speakers started a conquest in the entirety of Siberia. By the time they reached what is now south [[w:Sakha republic|Yakutia]], they were well aware of speakers of other popular proto-languages (for example Proto-Turkic, Proto-Uralic and Proto-Indo-European), and so, they decided that the best idea would be to move westwards until they reached the sea. | |||
