Angalic

History


Angal was an empire that presided over most of eastern Cyphria, the largest continent on Asym. The Empire was established by trade and conquest, when a merchants pact gained enough influence to assemble large cities of clansman workers on the desert coasts. The Angal Empire lasted for around 675 years under the same dynasty, which eventually handed power over to the Peoples Republic of Cyphria, which started in Angal. It was mainly made up of merchants, miners, herders and fishers, but technology and science occupations were also largely pursued and celebrated. About half of Angal's citizens were literate at any given moment in history, until the Enlightenment.

The Angal language has been subject to many thousands of years of evolution. It is the product of the interactions between thousands of individual cultures scattered across the mountains and jungles and deserts of Cyphria. It is considered the language of science,of business, of law and trade. It was also reformed and regulated 45 years into the empire's existence, making it a more uniformed and streamlined language.There are many dialects in Angal, as well as a separate, sacred writing system used by votaries, but the Standard Angal Dialect is what will be discussed here.
