Location of the languages

Kento-Polyash languages are a Slavic language subgroup present in southern Thuadia, mostly in the areas of the Sekidean Union.

History

Kento-Polyash languages diverged from Germanic languages in the area of present-day southern Nerany in about 4th century BCE and slowly migrated to the equator in a span of 400 years, populating area from western Torvon across Kentalis, Ereska, Gadorien, Zhousheng, Slovanska Kraj, southern Bakyern, Monte Blanco and western Gabrielland. In about 2nd century AD, Germanic tribes, mainly southern Bak tribes and Gadorieni tribes started pushing on Slavic settlements. Over time, most of the Slavic population, called the "Kartovians" in Gadorien was assimiliated into Gadori culture and language. Similar thing happened in Southern Bakyern. In the end of the first millenium, most of the areas formerly settled by Slavs in Torvon and in Gadorien has been assimilated into their new cultures (In the remote Duchy of Louzeni in Gadorien, Louzenish was created as a slavic language with strong germanic influences). Similar thing happened in Ereska, when new Khemmic settlers formed a lingustic corridor, splitting Kentalis from Ereska. Currently, Kento-Polyash languages are a majority in Mustelaria, Kentalis and Slovanska Kraj and a plurality in Ereska, while retaining minority status in Gabrielland and Gadorien.

Writing and alphabets

Former writing style of all Kento-Polyash languages was Polyshaphonic miniscule, which was retained until 18. century in most of the linguistic areas, but was eventually abandoned or edited in most of the countries (it is currently still used by Belgorian, Gorgavian and Karaalanish). Main problems with the script are lack of phonemes used in many languages, which makes one character represent multiple sounds and problems of drawing the letter, as some of them are complicated to be easily recognized from each other. Kentalis has reformed the script into a Kentalan alphabet, while Zhoushi/Bogmian language, Louzenish, Ereskaneese, Slovanic and Gabrielt Slavic adopted their versions of Latin alphabets. Currently, a new project in Mustelaria is underway, trying to create an artificial mutually inteligible language for easier communication among 4 slavic groups living in Mustelaria, this language has projected 31 phonemes and is written in Latin alphabet with diacritics.

Language hybrids

Those languages are know for their hybridisation with neighboring language groups. Zhoushi language is a assimiliation of a Prei-Phnom language called Zhengian into a Slavic language called Bogmian. Similar phenomena can be seen in Louzenish, which is integration of Bogmian language with Gadorieni Germanic language, Gorgavian, which is a integration of Belgorian language with Gorgavinian language, which was a Language isolate (note: see Bulgarian language to imagine how this integration might have looked like).
