'''Ońilo''' is a language isolate in [[Iearth|Iearth]]. Natively spoken in [[Wallenland]] and abroad by 11,800,000 people and spoken as a second language by the various diasporas in Wallenland, numbering at around 700,000.  
'''Wallen''' is a Paleo-Adulan language in [[Iearth]] and is linguistically classified as a language isolate as any relationship to any of the other known languages in [[Adula]] has not been established. Wallen is spoken by the Wallens and other residents of [[Wallenland]]; the Wallens are indigenous to and primarily inhabit Wallenland.

== History ==
====Prehistory====
===Prehistory===  
Though Ońilo has no relation to any modern [[Adula|Adulan]] languages, linguistic historians strongly believe its proto-form (Proto-Ońilo) was originally situated on the modern-day [[Terehan]] coast before emigrating to the Wallene islands.


====Adulan Contact====
===Foreign Contact===
The existence of Old Ońilo was unchallenged until [[Emmiria|Emmirian]] contact in the 900s, changing traditional life through religion, customs, ideas and language, all of which still resounds with Emmirian loanwords in Wallene vocabulary - one example is ''bándaril'' (''port; harbour''), phonemes from Emmirian phonology and the formation of a creole language - [[Banaḫdālemērai]].
The next point of change was [[Quetana|Quetanan]] colonisation, beginning with efforts in the 1540s by companies tasked to establish settlements. By the beginning of the 1700s, [[wikipedia:Portuguese language|Qoati]] was the language of trade and governance for the [[Companhia Imperial das Ilhas das Especiarias Quetanan]]

====Tone====
==Sample Text==
Ońilo is a [[wikipedia:Tone (linguistics)|tonal language]] with three tones and is used only for vowels: a high tone which is marked by an acute accent (⟨á⟩), a mid tone which is unmarked as the macron is reserved for [[wikipedia:Vowel length|long vowels]], and a low tone which is marked by a grave accent (⟨à⟩).
