Bonric Languages

The Bonric languages are a language family within the larger Indo-European language family. Within the Bonric languages, Daevite is an East Bonric language. Other languages within the Bonric family are Khazar, Davan, and Artarian, all within the West Bonric branch. The Bonric languages are mostly distributed in north-central Asia and eastern Europe. Due to interactions with other steppe peoples, the Bonric languages have been heavily influenced by the Turkic and Mongolic languages, and to a lesser extent, the Samoyedic, Uralic and Tungusic languages. The East Bonric languages borrowed so heavily from Central Asian languages that, until recently, many linguists did not consider them to be Indo-European at this point. The only remnant of Proto-Indo European in Daevite and related languages are the gender system and a few core words. On the other hand, the West Bonric Languages (especially the northern dialects of Khazar) preserve many more Indo-European aspects.
