Âdlantki or Middle Atlantic is the medieval stage of the Atlantic language, descended from Kirumb.

History

The history of the language begins with the migration of Kirumb speakers out of Greece starting in the fifth century.

The division between Âdlantki and Atlantic is largely arbitrary, and generally placed at the time of the vowel shift that occurred in the 1500s.

Classification

Âdlantki is a Hadwan language in the Indo-European family. Besides its inherited lexicon, Atlantic derives borrowed vocabulary for acrolectal terms from Ancient Greek.
