This article was presented as a paper to the Amnari Ancient Linguistics Conference, 4632 by Senior Duty Scholar Tabishka and is supported by the Amin Duum Taijis Nil Historical Complex Linguistic Research Bashi.

Over the past century, there have been several attempts to capture the structure and essence of the languages of the The Five Nations (Ishwari, Bushu, Taija, Caidrin , and Alandahari). Proto-Amnari, on the other hand, has received little attention, and is generally characterised as only a stage in the progression of the many languages united into one to become Amnari.

As such, its political, cultural, and social significance has been ignored. The desire to recognise the distinctiveness of the linguistic contributions of even the formal languages of the Five Empires and the many cultures they conquered, has ignored the value of Proto-Amnari for understanding how the many diverse groups settling in what would become Amin Duum Exclusion Zone learned to work and communicate together to create a society that could prevent the end of the world from The Rending. In this paper, we argue that further study of Proto-Amnari is essential for developing our knowledge of not just this stage of our history, but how later languages from the other Exclusion Zones have contributed to the shared language of the Amnari Alliance.

Proto-Amnari should be thought of as not one language, but as a serious of distinct stages of integration. The changing forms of the language exemplify the tensions involved when multiple cultures, all with their languages and social differences, needed to come together and found a way to communicate with each other. Over the thousand to one thousand five hundred years characterised as the Age of Chaos, Proto-Amnari is a set of historical steps, each one demonstrating the capacity of individuals to learn to work together, overcoming barriers that included sensory and other disabilities both naturally and Gap-caused. In that sense, we can think of it as a language of love.
