Classification and Dialects
High astroxian, also known as early astroxian and more rarely as proto-astroxian, is an extinct romance language spoken from 500 AD to 900 AD, and is the earliest form of what is today the astroxian language. It is generally accepted that high-astroxian started at 486 AD with Marjinte Rakene's "jiedice dēn socjatan" ("judgement of society") wich describes how young native astroxian speakers couldn't understand inscription on stones written in vulgar latin when the first settlers arrived, while everyone could only two generations ago. It also corresponds with the beginning of friendly relationships with the astroxians and the Gu people, and the slow absorption of them within the astroxian people, which is shown by the fact that high-astroxian is the first form of astroxian to contain words of gugaθi origins. It also is accepted that high-astroxian ends around 900 AD, when the gugaθi language went extinct.

Example text
Latin:
Pater noster, qui es in cælis
Sanctificetur nomen tuum ;
Adueniat regnum tuum ;
Fiat uoluntas tua
sicut in cælo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris
et ne nos inducas in tentationem
sed libera nos a malo.
Amen.
