Yllurian is an east Asian Aryan language, a sister tongue to Talarian. It is spoken in the kingdom called Yllera (that kingdom that was called in olden time Yllem), north of Westmarche and a way to the northwest of Auntimoany. Its sister language, Talarian, is spoken in the neighbouring country of Telera. Some thousands of years ago, according to ancient histories, the sea around which the proto Aryans lived experienced some devastating cataclysm. Though it is generally accepted to be an earthquake and subsequent flood, the legendary material may yet shed some light on the matter. The destruction of this land precipitated a mass exodus in all directions and gave rise to several great language families in both East and West: the Aryan and the Semitic. The ancestors of the Yllurians and Talarians, though they were not yet sundered into two distinct groups, wandered for a time in the east amongst the ancestors of the Persians and Indians. They were much influenced by these peoples and acquired not a few cultural, religious and linguistic borrowings. This folk continued into the Eastlands, at last arriving in the vicinity of several moribund Archaic Empires. They settled in the lands of the old Yllemese kingdom, and while in later years the Talarians moved across the Severn River into Teleran proper, the Yllurians stayed on in the old land of Yllem.
