== History ==

The origins of the Azkali language are disputed. The leading theory is that Azkali originated in ~~southwest~~ Baphia, and that speakers of Proto-Azkali migrated south into the [[Azkali peninsula]]. The date of this hypothesized migration is unclear - however, most estimates place it as being approximately nine thousand years ago.

The origins of the Azkali language are disputed. The leading theory is that Azkali originated in southeast Baphia, and that speakers of Proto-Azkali migrated south into the [[Azkali peninsula]]. The date of this hypothesized migration is unclear - however, most estimates place it as being approximately nine thousand years ago. There are other theories that have been proposed for Proto-Azkali's origins, most notably the Zuvia conondrum, positing an origin in Zuvia, which would supposedly explain the similiarity of some words between Proto-Azkali and Proto-Mallo-Brausian, and the Brausian hypothesis, positing an origin in northern Brausia. All of these theories have substantial proof supporting them, but the hypothesis with the most is the Baphian hypothesis

The oldest example of the Azkali language being written is from around 5000 BCE, in an ancient form of what is believed to be the [[Azkali alphabet]]. If ~~true~~, this would make the Azkali alphabet one of the oldest extant writing systems in the world.

== Vocabulary ==

Approximately 60% percent of Azkali's vocabulary comes from Proto-Azkali, 21% of that being from an unknown language (thought to be an extant Paleo-Azkali language). In the remaining 19%, some 12% come from [[Oikan]], 4% comes from Loremesian (most likely due to trading and long term contact between the speakers of Loremesian and Azkali), ~~2.5~~% are from Paleo-Azkali languages~~, and the remaining 0.5% are from the G'torrugh register of Azkali~~.

Azkali's vocabulary is extremely open class; new nouns, verbs, and pronouns are constantly being derived and used by speakers of Azkali. Other types of words, even including grammatical affixes, prepositions, and so on, are also open class, though not as much as nouns.
