Merar

Not to be confused with Meromo.

Merar was the language of Paba's military caste, which consisted mostly of Tarpabaps and other ethnic minorities.

Merar was a nation of people who had immigrated from Paba to Subumpam during the late stages of the Vegetable War after they had pushed the battlefronts westward out of Paba. After the war they stayed in Subumpam and married Subumpamese women. THey set up a new government stating that only military officers were allowed to hold government posts.

Languages

This is a branch of Paleo-Pabappa, not Gold.

Paleo-Pabappa to Proto-Aboa

This branch of the family is called Aboa because it is the language of the Empire of Aboa, which included Subumpam, Litila, and Thaoa.

Paleo-Pabappa to Zakap

This branch reduces its vowel system due to Gold influence, even though the shift took place more than a thousand years after Gold's. It may even end up with /a i u/ instead of /a i u ə/.
