ㅤㅤTakáyann (Takaijeþ, [ta'kaijeθ]) is an Alpharidic language located in British Columbia, Canada & Florida, USA, though it is also present in scattered regions of the southeastern USA, northwestern USA, & southwestern Canada. It is one of the major languages that came from Proto Fulish,. a now-extinct language.
ㅤㅤTakáyann is apart of a sub-banch of Fulish called Proto Takáyo-Eskriak (Taáge), which is comprised of languages such as Eskrian, Heskidian, Alskr, and Gentish.
History
ㅤㅤTakáyann first arose after groups of South-Fulish sailors brought Germanic peoples through the straits of Florida in c. 0067 AFC, where they would intermingle with the North-Fulish, which later brought upon many outside influences into the language, making it noticeably different from the language from which it came.
ㅤㅤOld Takáyann initially had several dialects, with varying conservatism, but later leaders would attempt reform the language, and make one contemporary dialect.
ㅤㅤLate Old Takáyann speakers that hadn't moved back up north eventually started to speak Old English and Old Norse as their first languages, which made the influx of loan words in the language expand tremendously.
ㅤㅤDuring the Middle Takáyann period, a great sickness from the north swept the lands, forcing communities to stay isolated, which helped in de-standardizing the language, turning it into a group of staunchly varying dialects. After the sickness dissipated, tribes from the North came down to settle, helping to form the language back to it's Alpharidic roots.
ㅤㅤAfter the times of Middle Takáyann were just a blur, was the Poetic Takáyann period, where people took up the pencil, and wrote their hearts out on paper, quickly making the it a language of the Higher-Class.
ㅤㅤEarly-Modern Takáyann still possessed numerous loan words, but it was considerably more akin to that of other Alpharidic languages, in both grammar and word usage.
ㅤㅤAfter the ''Great Reformation of Takáyann'', was the Modern Takáyann era, the language had ditched most of the loan words it was built upon, and started to repossess words from older forms of their language, revitalizing it, and carrying through to the present day.
