Origins
Obradinian is descended from Arollian, a Sorillian language spoken from around the 5th century into the 7th century. The language was brought into central Velizka by the Arollian Empire. Arollian began to diverge into the ancestors of the modern Sorillian languages following the death of Hanovak the Great and the collapse of Arollia into rival pretender states. The earliest form of what could be considered Obradinian was Old Obradinian, which emerged as a distinct variety in the mid 7th century.

Old Obradinian
The first writings in old Obradinian appeared around 667 AD in the form of poetry and record keeping. Vorezian remained an administrative language in Obradina up until 1573, and Arollian remained the language of religion until the Obradinian revolution. Regardless of this, Obradinian thrived as the language of the common people and lower administrators during this period. Old Obradinian was never standardised, meaning that transcripts often varied in terms of orthography and vocabulary.

Middle Obradinian
Middle Obradinian began to develop in the 14th century, but is often considered to have begun in the 16th cnetury with the firt ever standardised version of the language being published in 1578.
