About Pre-Proto-Diamamka
In my conworld, it is the oldest language whose existence is attested. If there was an oral language coming before it, it is indeed pure speculation.
The First People lived in one tribe, a few exceptions aside, which gave rise to a central, unique language once speaking abilities have been granted to them by the gods; it was probably at the time period preceeding the Great Journey.
The Pre-Proto-Díamãmka language, thus we call it nowadays, is in fact merely known by nothing but ethymological roots, and some inflexionnal and grammatical residuals, that we can observe in its daughter language, the Proto-Díamãmka language.
Ethymological roots may have been discovered, for the great part, thanks to some chronicler that listed them. Pronunciation consists mainly of speculations, this time there aren't any documents.
