Amade is the largest anbd msot economically powerful stte of the Ogili Empire.
Langugae
The tone system has esse3ntially reverted to that of Khulls. That is, Khulls had a stress/tone cobination, which went to all-tone in Ogili, and now is back as strress/tomne. But the tones are so heavily changed that high is refelcted as low as often as it is reflected as high. THis is unlike all other langiages that descendded from Khulls.
Consonants & voiwerls are similar butu nsteressed syllabs have lost all final consos and some voewrls. However, since the parent language Ogili was mostly (C)V to begin with, this is not a great loss, and for the most part, Amade is a fairly conservative language.
