Midretassene Language

The predecessor of the modern languages of Tassan Language and Lucacian Language, the Midretassene language is descended from Old Low Gwenyan. Dúrandworese also has much Midretassene influence due to the Midretassene Empire.

NOTE

A separate lexicon, very small, but much more developed than this exists in Google Docs.
