About Southern Retenic
Southern Retenic was a group of dialects spoken in south-east and south-center of Retenia between 1800 BC and 1100 BC when it was replaced by 
Old Retenian. This language was not well known because few written trace were found but the study of the study of toponimy and of Retenian knowns languages helped to reconstruct some words.
Towards 1500 BC some people who speak this language migrated to west and were known in middle age as Takhuma people. Their language was the only descendant and last survivor of Southern retenic.
After the falls of Amedura in 971 BC, a wave of Raytas migrate to the south-west of the southern plain and assimile or move the proto-Takhumas.
In 967 BC, Ulkurash the Great, "Emperor of all Retenians and Dunaris" attack the region and most of Takhumas were slavized (also some raytas were slavized).
In 1157, due to a famine, retenians (Raytas) people from the central and southern plains migrated to Takhuma territory and assimilate the majority of them.
Last Takhuma lived in Karbata mountains, a mountain range in South-west retenia, and this people lived between the mountains and the coast and lived from fishing and agriculture, but in 1486, the Portugueses arrive and the lasts Takhuma people were converted to roman Catholicism by missionaries and were assimilated in the new south-western coastal population, a mix between Raytas (main ethny in Retenia) and portugueses settlers and populations of other origins.
Takhuma language wasn't written and disappeared completely and leave very few traces.
