The Calbic language is one of the older languages of Micras that originated in Calbion as the language of the Calbain people. It remains the most widely spoken, and official language of Calbion. Calbic is part of the Proto-Calbi language family that includes Treesian. Exponents of Calbic have shaped other languages such as Florian and certain Storish dialects.
Etymologists and historians theorise that Calbic emerged as a mix of Treesian and Storish stowaways - or possibly traders - and Jasonian tribes. Traces of Istvanistani - the lingua franca of Jasonia and the Calbain people, can also be identified within the language. Their seclusion from general Jasonian society allowed for a unique language to develop among the Calbain.
Celebaradian Calbic
A particular exponent of Calbic is Celebaradian, or Western Calbic. This is the language spoken in the Calbain-influenced areas of East Keltia, most notably the North Island of Feanoria. Celebaradian Calbic has significant influences from the Norse and even the Menelmacari languages. A prominent feature is the dropping of the y for the i. It is the official language in the Kingdom of Celebarad, and a recognised minority language in Calbion.
