Old Dze (Old Dze: Dzeŋguq ['d͡zeŋguq]) is a classical language, spoken by the people of the Moonblade Culture and the Flower Stirrup Culture, which belongs to the Eastern branch of the Dzenic Languages. Belonging to a collective of 10 or so languages known as the Old Liturgicals, it is the language as it was spoken prior to it's evolution into Proto-Dze.
Archaeology
The first indications of the existance of Old Dze lie in the Dze Hieroglyphic script made by the Moonblade Culture around 40.000 BR until about 10.000 BR, a period of time in where the language changed very little if at all. The conservative nature of this language and the rest of the Liturgicals gave rise to the Dze Disturbance Bloom Hypothesis, which proposes that the language and culture of a Dze will only change after repetitive and forced changes to their way of life. The archaeological record of this language spans over 20.000 years and it is always within the estimated urheimat of the Moonblade Culture, with evidence of the language in other Dze cultures being scant or non-existant.
Etymology and Nomenclature
The endonym of the language, or at least the most well known, is "Dzeŋguq", which translates to "stargazer language/tongue". The Moonblade Tablets, and even cave art from the Leaf Lance Culture, reveal an affinity of the Dze towards astronomy and the study of stars and the movements of they, the planets, the moons and the galactic disk. Although a shared cultural trait of all Dze, the field of astronomy itself was more common in the Moonblade Culture and thus the endonym was more prevalent there, whereas in other regions the Dze inhabited they called themselves differently.
History
Old Dze was spoken primarily in the Leaf Lance Valley and the adjacent lands, such as the Eastfjords and the Oriental Steppes; although previously thought to be the descendant of all Dzenic Languages, it was recently proved that it was but one of many Chalcolithic languages that proliferated through the lands of the Dze.
