History
The Arke people and Arkeic
The Arke were the precersours to all Arkeic people today found throughout all of Eastern Moneylania.
Old Sibarian
In the 4th century BC, Arkeic started going through a shift in regards to usage and writing. The Arkeic writing systems was utilised by the ruling elite of the Empire, while the general populous were not able to read or write. Arkeic was adopted as the language of the clergy and religious leaders serving various Arkeic townships. As the push for common folk learning to read and write, this language was gradually adapted to non-clerical purposes and became known as the Sibarian version of Arkeic. The two variants of the language, clerical (Arkeic) and non-clerical (Sibarian), continued to be utilised by the two different classes until the fall of the empire, in which Arkeic was slowly forgotten for the easier to understand Sibarian dialect.
Old Sibarian was a language that was prominent during the Ancient Sibarian Empire.
Modern Sibarian
Modern Sibarian existed since the early 1200's. This dialect is as it is today.

In Islandic, the "o" sound (Kamyshovo - Kah-mm-ee-sh-oh-v-oh) is drawn out a bit more.
