The origin and time that Jevian was developed is completely unknown, as are the creator(s) of the language. Jevian was used as a regional dialect of the Domz Empire until Jey (named after the language) became independent from the Treaty of Qualo. Immediately afterwards, Jevian became the official language of Jey and today, it remains the official language along with English and Latin. Jevian is the most commonly spoken lanugage of the three.
