Geographic Distribution
Illyrian Iberic îs spoken exclusively by the Illyrian and Eislyian populations in New Illyricum and has in total about 42 million speakers. Illyrian Iberic is largely mutually intelligible with Pensulian Iberic, which historically has by many linguists been considered to be a dialect of Illyrian Iberic until the twenty-first century, and Eisleyian Iberic, as well as being somewhat intelligible with Pavulturilori and Gaúcho. Historically Illyrian Iberic was mostly only spoken on the Illyric peninsula until the collapse of the Kingdom of Ferunia and Trurnia and the eventual extinction of Ferunian Iberic and Trurnia Iberic around 1800, which then allowed Illyrian Iberic to become commonly spoken throughout all of western Illyricum by the common population.
