The Eastern-Milevic languages are a group of related languages descended from Proto-East-Milevic contained entirely to Athsud. The largest of these languages is Athsudan, which is spoken by over X million people, and is the official language of Athsud. Historically these languages formed a dialect continuum, but this has been disrupted due to isolation and the spreading influence of Athsudan; the only other remaining mainland languages are Eastern Athsudan, X, and X. Though Athsudan dominates the mainland, the outer islands of Athsud still maintain their own East-Milevic languages with strong communities; and the Athsudan government has been working towards establishing these as official languages.
History
Eastern-Milevic diverged from Proto-Milevic around X, and world later settle further into the Athsudan peninsula, displacing various Pre-Milevic East-Mirarian groups. How far these migrations spread is debated, as any further migrations would have been displaced by the expansion of the Sunrise Horde in the 1Xth century. While it's generally agreed that the mainland Eastern-Milevic languages once formed a larger dialect continuum, the status of the island East-Milevic languages remains up to debate, especially considering the divergent nature of languages such as Khala. X (20XX), has proposed a division between Mainland and Outer East-Milevic languages, which has gained significant traction over the years, though there is still no consensus on the topic. With the unification of Athsud in the 18th century, Athsudan became the sole language of government and schooling, and the prestige language of the country; and many Eastern-Milevic languages still present on the peninsula were quickly replaced by Athsudan, with Eastern Athsudan, X, and X being the last remaining. With the advent of the Balkist revolution in 19XX, this process was largely reversed, and regional schooling in local languages was established, though Athsudan and Otsuki still remained the sole official languages of the country, and a number of Eastern-Milevic languages had already gone extinct.
