Among the Mallo-Brausian languages, the closest relative to Loremese is [[Arcadian language|Arcadian]], and written Loremese, based on early modern dialects, shares many features with Classical Arcadian specifically. Sources differ on specifics, but it is generally accepted that proto-Loremese developed out of a peripheral variant of Common Brausian as spoken in or near the [[Chikos|Chikos region]] before its speakers migrated to the Loremese Isles ca. 1500 BC. | Among the Mallo-Brausian languages, the closest relative to Loremese is [[Arcadian language|Arcadian]], and written Loremese, based on early modern dialects, shares many features with Classical Arcadian specifically.

=== Orthography === | |||
The standard orthography is based on conservative dialects from the early Global Trade era, and thus does not match modern pronunciations directly. Notable features are historical stressed /*e/ breaking up to [ja] and resultung pervasive yod-coalescence, as well as word-final ''o'' being silent. | |||
