Classical Doccábh

Classical Doccábh (doccáib dirr [do.ˈka:βʲ dʲi.r̩ʲ]) was a language spoken in northern Yazland, originally by the Doccábh people, and later by multiple groups under the Doccábhan Empire. Today it largely survives as a language for international communication, as well as science and academia, although it is largely being supplanted. Despite this, few to no native speakers of the language exist.

Before the fall of the Doccábhan Empire, it had largely evolved into colloquial forms spoken across the various provinces of the empire, which later evolved into different modern languages. These are largely minority languages today, although some countries in the Gintem Confederation use them as an official language. Classical Doccábh itself is still common in literature and institutions, and is standardised by TODO.

Classical Doccábh had a large effect on the languages around it, with many words being borrowed into the surrounding Yasgan, Ashno-Verethian, and Milevic languages, especially in the areas of law, science, theology, and medicine, as well as many placenames.
