About Old Jilian
The precursor of Lyladnese and Sujeii.
Sharing a common ancestry with Old Qatill as they both belong to the Jilic branch of South Osveraali, Old Jilian is much more conservative than its sister language, preserving much of the complex phonology and grammar it inherited. These traits persist into modern Lyladnese, the most synthetic modern Osveraali language and also the only one that has retained vowel harmony.
