Classical Adāta was spoken in the Dāiadak city states of the Rathedān highlands in the time period around 0 YP. With the expansion of the Empire of Athalē from 200 YP onward, the language spread across most of the middle and upper Eigə valley. In 414 YP, Imperial Adāta was declared official language of the empire by Khepōnon I, thereby further strengthening its position outside the Dāiadak heartlands and largely replacing local tongues such as Ndok Aisô, Ktacwa, and Komeyech.

Genealogy

Adāta is descended from the southwestern dialects of Ndak Ta, forming part of the Edastean language family, which in turn belongs to the Talo-Edastean subbranch of the Macro-Edastean family. Sister languages of Adāta include Fáralo, Naidda, Ndok Aisô, and Komeyech (listed in decreasing order of historical significance but increasing closeness to Adāta).
