Proto-Boreal language

The Proto-Boreal language was spoken prior to ca. -1000 in the northern circumpolar regions of Istion. It was highly agglutinating and featured the click consonants which were assimilated by Proto-Viraayon-’Aṣækikk and subsequently became one of the defining features of the Northern Sprachbund. A few descendant languages remain today, spoken mainly by small, isolated groups of traders who continue the seminomadic existence of the Proto-Boreal people; otherwise the only traces of the language remaining today are loanwords, the clicks of the Northern Sprachbund, and certain toponyms.
