General information[]
The ancestors of the Ametarans lived in the area now known as the Bosphorus strait that connects Mainland Europe with Western Asia. They moved to present-day Macedonia and from there, started one of the first Indo-European speaking nations in Europe with the kingdom of Kochani that lasted from the 11th century BCE until the 5th century BCE when the Macedons invaded their land. The proto-Ametaran language was probably influenced by a host of other languages, Indo-European or not, including Greek itself. The language's first attestation was from a stele written on a leaf which describes an Kochanian landlord's deal with the "men from far below" which were the Greeks. It was probably written in the Old Italic script.
