Lanean language

The Modern Lanean language (Formerly known as High Lanean) is the modern derivation of the Lanean language family, stemming from Middle Lanean. Lanean is the national and official language of the Lanese Confederation, and its historical mother languages have been spoken in the country since before the foundation of the Lanean Empire. Modern Lanean is spoken by some 645 million across the world, with 620 million of those speakers concentrated in Lana.

Linguistic historians believe the roots of the Lanean language family to have come from the Upper Alessian Plains region, which is also considered the ancient homeland of the Lanean Empire. The language is believed to have formed sometime around 6700 BNC, and with the conquests of Haedron Tilvanus in 4300 BNC the language became the major language of the Plains. It wasn't until the founding of the Lanean Kingdom in 3267 BNC was the first recorded use of the language and the development of the Lanean script. With the establishment of the multiracial Lanean Empire in 2988 BNC, the Lanean language spread throughout the continent. With the Lanean Empire's fall in 342 ANC, the language devolved into what is now known as Middle Lanean, and the range of its speakers reverted back into the Lanean homeland. It wasn't until the beginning of the Renascita in 1100 ANC when Middle Lanean was replaced with a derivation of Old Lanean known as High Lanean, and to this day, High Lanean has been better known as Modern Lanean.
