History of Limbrogidlian
From the oral traditions of the Limbrogidlians, this language was first created when Limbrit, the supreme diety of the Limbrogidlians, came over to the land to learn them about civilization, which happent in 1,600 BC, in the Oliverrian Calendar (Based on the Gregorian Calendar). According to the same traditions, he died when he was about to teach them about verbs, so for centuries, verbs were never used because they only knew about them from oral tradition and they were assimilated to death. In 1275 AD, when French colonists came to the land and discovered Limbrogidlians, they were surprized by the fact the Limbrogidlians were not using verbs and were using adverbs to replace them. They then teached them about verbs and, for the fact that they didn't die, Limbrogidlians converted themselves automatically to Catholicism, thinking their ancestors were liars. The Great Council of Limbrogidlia then decided to adopt French verbs with uy at the end instead of the 2 last letters. Evolution of verbs would follow the French version of the word. This language then Limbrogidlicized English words for new technologies.
