The language of the High Shadevan Tribes, including the Jamyá, now spoken in a few small pockets in the Jaggudorns, is thought to have been spoken widely among the Shadew River and the Jaggudorn foothills of the east. The modern vestiges have undergone considerable créolization, almost exclusively from the Thwarrish High Gwenyan Tribes that immigrated into Thrace and other wide valleys east of the Jaggudorns. The ancient High Shadevan Language is thought to be the substrate and High Gwenyan the superstrate with the modern High Shadevan Language now incorporating many loanwoards from Thwarrish.
