ㅤEskrian (Eskŗıeo [ɛskɹie͡ɪo͡ʊ]), also known as South Eskrian, is an Alpharidic language. The language has a semi-mutually intelligible daughter language called North Eskrian, which can be seen as more of a Creole between English and Eskrian.
Daughter and Sister Languages
ㅤ• North Eskrian, having most of it's words come from the Standard Eskrian language, has a high level of mutual intelligibility with other Alpharidic languages, though, with it's simplistic nature, other Alpharidic languages will have an easier understanding of it, than it understands them.
ㅤ• Modern Takáyann, after ''The Great Reformation of Takáyann'', the language started dropping their Germanic influences in favour of more Alpharidic roots.
Modern Takáyann (Unlike Early Modern Takáyann & Middle Takáyann) has a high degree of mutual intelligibility with Eskrian.
ㅤ• Alskr, Though Alskr is a small language compared to others, it still has a high degree of mutual intelligibility with Eskrian, being it's sister language.
Basic Alskr is almost fully intelligible, but since the languages split before specific technologies, non-everyday words may be completely unintelligible.
ㅤ• East Eskrian (Akinnic), as the sister language of South Eskrian, their mutual intelligibility is high, though Akinnic drops some of the complexities that South Eskrian retained, it has it's own complexities in which one word could have multiple variations are dialectal spellings.
Medieval Eskrian
The Medieval period of the Eskrian language was a depressing time, and it forced the language to lose parts of it's standardisation; In this period there was the least standardised version of Eskrian to have existed, spawning many dialects and sister-languages (though most of them died off when standardisation rose once more).
Cognate words
Eskrian comparatively has a lot of cognates in-common with other alpharidic languages.
