Calineg (i Galineg) is an a posteriori language that is a modern descendant of Proto-Italio-Celtic. Calineg has been systematically derived from Proto-Celtic and Proto-Italic roots that best approximate a synthesis of these branches. The vocabulary also shows early pseudo-historical borrowing from Latin and later Brythonic loanwords.

History
Proto-Calinic diverged from Proto-Italio-Celtic sometime before the first millennium B.C.E. Widely spoken across Central Europe, Common Calinc stone inscriptions have been found dating as early as the 3rd century B.C.E. Common Calinic speakers were first attested in Roman works of the 1st century B.C.E.
The earliest extant sources identifiable as Calineg go back to about the 1st century C.E. Very little of the language from this period, known as Early Calineg, remains. The next main period, somewhat better attested, is Old Calineg (Hene Galineg) from the 3rd to 9th centuries. Middle Calineg, with its soaring epic poetry, runs into the 11th century. Modern Calineg consists of two distinct periods. Early Modern Calineg officially begins with the drafting of the Great Alliance of Calen and the United Burgundy in 937 C.E. Similarly, Late Modern Calineg began with the drafting of the Unification of the Two Kingdoms in 1474 C.E. Current linguistic debate centers over whether the modern era has ended and Post-Modern Calineg began with the widespread education and media publication that has effectively made the oral register the practical language of the people in the latter half of the 20th century.
