Bunkaiian / Šibàñki

History of Conlang
The idea for this conlang was extrapolated from C1st BCE. Greek historian Diodorus Siculus' Library of History 5. 41. 4 - 5. 64. 7 (trans. Oldfather). Diodorus drew the account of Pankhaia (Panchaea) from the writer Euhemerus of Messene, who composed a work on the subject known as the  Sacred History  around 300 B.C.

Pankhaia, (current endonym: Bàñkaïa) was described to be one of the three major islands in the Indian Ocean situated close to but east of Socotra, where a collection of native "Pankhaioi", "Okeanites" (Austronesians?), "Indoi" (Indo-Aryans), "Skythai" (Scythians being a common ford Old Persians), "Kretes" (Mycenaean Cretans) and "Doians" (Possibly related to the mythological Vazimba of Madagascar, "Doya" being a Proto-Ongan word for "enclosure, home or cradle" or the old Malagasy word "Taoy" for "Here").

The languages is a hypothetical conlang based on a creolization of Northern Sabaki/Swahili dialects like the extinct Socotran Swahili and Bravanese ChiMwini, Avestan/Old Persian, Sanskrit, Proto-Malagasy (Northern), Southern Arabic, Somali and some adopted Proto-Ongan nouns. The Greeks left little to no linguistic heritage.

Major settlements on the island of Bàñkaïa include Bàñárá, Čiráká, Dàlisá and '''Subàmbá. '''
