Surviving [[Western Dantrian Civilization|Western Dantrian]] records shed little light on its origins, as most documents seem to have been written in [[Mandae]]. However, Thonthal is thought to be based on a language or several languages in Central Dantria, since [[New Dawn]] travelers spoke a very similar language and [[Darda]] easily adopted Thonthal as state language in the 1580s [[dantrian_calendar|SR]].

As Leykarya used its seafaring capability to establish international ties, Thonthal spread to several other [[Eastern_Dantrian_civilization|eastern countries]] as a useful foreign language: peoples that traded with Leykarya began benefiting from sharing Thonthal, and it became a lingua franca first in the south and then in the north. Thonthal is not commonly spoken in Yammoe.
