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.
