| rdfs:comment | - Classical Brmek (ﺑﺮمیك Barmîk or ﺑﺮمی قنسعیوعد Barmî Kenesagyûgad) is a Jelbic language used in literary texts from the time of the Ahmadi Caliphate, based on medieval dialects spoken by the Jelbic tribes in Barmenia. Old High Jelbic is the direct descendent of Classical Brmek, based on the spoken Jelbic in the 23rd century and with a simplified grammar. Today Classical Brmek is only used in religious contexts, as one of the two sacred languages of Ahmadism (the other being Majatran) and a liturgical language for Barmenian Hosians and Yeudis.

| abstract | - Classical Brmek (ﺑﺮمیك Barmîk or ﺑﺮمی قنسعیوعد Barmî Kenesagyûgad) is a Jelbic language used in literary texts from the time of the Ahmadi Caliphate, based on medieval dialects spoken by the Jelbic tribes in Barmenia. Old High Jelbic is the direct descendent of Classical Brmek, based on the spoken Jelbic in the 23rd century and with a simplified grammar. Today Classical Brmek is only used in religious contexts, as one of the two sacred languages of Ahmadism (the other being Majatran) and a liturgical language for Barmenian Hosians and Yeudis. In spite of its name, Classical Brmek is not the direct predecessor of the modern Brmek language, which is a local variety of Old High Jelbic. The latter can be said to be a continuation of Classical Brmek, with an emphasis on native Jelbic words and written primarily in the Selucian script. Moreover, Old High Jelbic was designed as a neutral variety of the language with the purpose of bridging the increasingly divergent dialects and languages spoken by the Jelbics after Classical Brmek ceased to be widely spoken. As such it was based on the Jelbanian grammar and pronunciation, with some Pontesian influence, whereas Classical Brmek is based on a no longer spoken Jelbic language in Barmenia. Although knowledge of Classical Brmek has gradually been restricted to religious contexts, it had a significant influence on all spoken and written Jelbic languages.
