About Old Calid'in Calid'in (/kʰæɫ.ɫi̞ˑ.ði̞n/ in my American English pronunciation) in its proto-form was spoken between 2000-1500 years ago. While there would be a long era of mutual intelligability and similarity between speakers of the language and its dialects, they would eventually split into the multiple dialects of Calid'in spoken today. Old Calid'in, having been very different different from Modern Calid'in, still has as many irregularities and complexities as its current form, such as verb conjugation.

Old Calid'in is mostly fusional, but it could also be agglutinatiuve; verbs are fusional and nouns are agglutinative, but this doesn't mean adverbs (which agree to their verbs) and adjectives (which agree to the noun) are the same respectively. Adverbs and adjectives are fusional but there is a clear vision that they used to be agglutinative.

Old Calid'in had many dialects that were mutually intelligable, and they were more similar in urban areas where people could share ways of speaking, while rurul areas where filled with more diverse but less dialects. The major dialects of Old Calid'in would eventually split into the multiple dialects of Modern Calid'in, with lots of exchange between them, adding to the ability to the mutual intelligability. The dialects would form a dialect continuum as well
