Chaulese

Chaulese is a two thousand year old language spoken in the country of Chaul. The language was created when different tribes merged in culture and language which created the Chaulese language and identity.

Classification and Dialects
After the merging of languages in Chaul; the four big dialects which were then separate languages existed in harmony. However the two bigger of them the Northern and Central languages had kingdoms and had created a four hundred rivalry between each other. This meant several wars, but also a rush to become stronger in population by agriculture in the central kingdom, and more skilled warriors in the northern kingdom. After four hundred years of war and no winner, the languages became closer, and the cultures even more. With this, the rulers of the two kingdoms made peace, and created one nation which took the other two linguistic groups in, this became Chaul and accelerated the mixing of languages into dialects.
