Ancient Basic

Ancient Basic (also known as Archaic) was the language spoken in the galactic republic from around 20,000 BBY. From 10,000 BBY onwards, it was gradually replaced with Middle Basic, which evolved into Modern Basic after the Great Hyperspace War in 5000 BBY.

Ancient Basic was an inflected language with complex grammar. The language became more synthetic after 10,000 BBY, and Modern Basic was totally synthetic.
