Tolec (Broad Tolec: Tolacy, more commonly known as Broad Tolec or Keuntoly pronounced [n/a]) is a group of Quatic languages (or, arguably, dialects) that were first spoken in ancient Setole. Named after the ancient empire of Setole, the name "Tolec" is believed to have originated from the term Setoleca or Setolej. The modern forms of Broad Tolec originated form Konja Cheungdal and have continued to grow and change well into the modern era.
