* The Maerglish civilization is so ancient, that little is known about the culture, its language, or history. Only a small remnant of structures exist on Ayis San, and nearly all known writings from the Maerglish are carved in stone.

**Although the Ayis culture has existed for some time in one form or another, its language (like its culture) has evolved over time. This lingustic fact also applies to the name the Ayis have used for themselves. The name Ayis was originally N'Ayis, which evolved from N'Ayish, which was shortened from N'Ayishat. There are writings in existence today which confirm this, but anything prior to the N'Ayishat period is very scarce, and of ambiguous origin. Some have claimed that the earliest name was Nishath, suggesting a Tanasais phonetic construction. While it is generally agreed that Ayis and Tanas once shared a common dialect, any linguistic reconstruction is pure speculation.

Some dates are approximate. The symbol a. means “after”, b. “before”, and c. “circa” (or “about”)
