Proto-Alemar-Barejine

General Information
Proto-Alemar-Barejine is the most recent common ancestor of the Peninsular Chevin languages, which include both Alemarese and Barejine. It was most likely spoken in the center of the Chevin peninsula, spreading inland, to the coasts, and to the surrounding islands (displacing other languages minus Varrit).

Classification
The Alemar-Barejine languages are grouped into two branches: East and West. A minority of languages fall outside of this scheme, however, and a labeled as isolates within the Alemar-Barejine family.
