As the language of a people - the '' | As the language of a people - the ''Sulurilut'' - situated in a vital bottleneck of commerce between the Eastern and Western parts of central-northern Márusúturon, many words from it have entered languages of neighboring peoples, and an older form of iKalurilut was a lingua franca in a vast area of the continent. In the next centuries, its importance on the continent began to sharply fall, mostly due to the rise of the empire of Greater Skyrdagor to the northeast and the conquest of most lands to the south of iKalurilut — where saKalurilut was the lingua franca — by the Chlouvānem from the southeast. Kalurilut still influenced both languages, with often loanwords from [[Chlouvānem]] to [[Skyrdagor]] and vice versa showing signs of being borrowed through the means of Kalurilut first. Still, Kalurilut itself absorbed lots of loanwords, especially religious terminology and modern-day concepts from Chlouvānem, starting from the suKalurilut's conversion to the Yunyalīlti religion. | ||
After a long period where its international importance was overshadowed by the far greater reach of Chlouvānem and Skyrdagor, the Kalurilut language is now getting a revival in abroad learning, aided by the less strict visa policies and better human rights record for foreigners in iKalurilut when compared to the Chlouvānem Inquisition, so that the country has become an obligatory destination for most Westerners interested in Eastern Calemerian culture, lifestyle, and sciences, as well as life in the environmental-friendliest country on Calémere. | After a long period where its international importance was overshadowed by the far greater reach of Chlouvānem and Skyrdagor, the Kalurilut language is now getting a revival in abroad learning, aided by the less strict visa policies and better human rights record for foreigners in iKalurilut when compared to the Chlouvānem Inquisition, so that the country has become an obligatory destination for most Westerners interested in Eastern Calemerian culture, lifestyle, and sciences, as well as life in the environmental-friendliest country on Calémere. | ||
