Distribution of Eastern-Milevic languages, with majority-speaking being in dark blue and minority speaking being in light blue |
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.
