Scholars who study the Medibgóëse Language have divided it into five period over its extent of about three thousand years: Proto-Medibgösk (200 AS to 300 AI), Early Medibgösk (300 AI to 600 AI), Arathracian Medibgösk (600 to 1200), Middle Medibgösk (1200 to 1800), Modern Medibgóëse (1800 to present day).  Modern Medibgóëse may be divided into two divisions, based upon the rule of the Medibgösk Smallfalgo dynasty that started a trend to uniformity among the ruling aristocrats which was disrupted by the Middle Ages of Chaos, followed by a second period where uniformity was once again practiced in the restored empire.  Medibgö is famous for its multitude of quirky dialects, especially among the household staffs who do not have frequent direct contact with their lords.  These 'micro-dialects' can vary from skyness to skyness and even from household to household.

Thought to be descended from the Jaggudorn Languages of the Sky People, probably old Colnorian, and eastern Pytharnian languages of the Moigthe. Medibgóëse remains an important international language since the Isbajutha, especially for diplomats, aristocrats, and academia. It is also closely related to the Kasthavian Language and the Gonfalese Language. It is more distantly related to Dewyddairsh Language and to the Pytharnian Language.

History

Scholars who study the Medibgóëse Language have divided it into five period over its extent of about three thousand years:

OJGw Old Jaggudornish Gwenyan (1150 AS to 650 AI) --> LJGw Late Jaggudornish (650 AS to 150 AS) --> ACol Ancient Colnorian (525 AS to 500 AI) --> ETig Early Tigskönish (300 AS to 200 AI) -->

PMedProto-Medibgösk (200 AS to 300 AI)
EMed Early Medibgösk (300 AI to 600 AI)
AMed Arathracian Medibgösk (600 to 1200)
MMed Middle Medibgösk (1200 to 1800)
ModMed Modern Medibgóëse (1800 to present day)

Modern Medibgóëse may be divided into two divisions, based upon the rule of the Medibgösk Smallfalgo dynasty that started a trend to uniformity among the ruling aristocrats which was disrupted by the Middle Ages of Chaos, followed by a second period where uniformity was once again practiced in the restored empire. Medibgö is famous for its multitude of quirky dialects, especially among the household staffs who do not have frequent direct contact with their lords. These 'micro-dialects' can vary from skyness to skyness and even from household to household.

Dialects of Medibgö

Medibgóëse society is rather class-based, even more so than the rest of Pytharnia. One is either a member of an aristocratic household or one is the servant of such a household. The ruling class endeavors to speak their own dialect of Medibgóëse which is considered the proper form. The servants speak a lower version and this varies from orbit to orbit in Medibgö.
