Excepting a few fringe holdouts hidden in the classics departments of third-tier state colleges in backwater inland provinces, Coscivian and Occidental scholars agree that High Coscivian is a Cosco-Adratic/Transkiravian language and must be considered a primary branch of the Cosco-Adratic family in the absence of any known direct ancestors. The long-extinct Sʑvoʎatellic language, which is only sparsely attested, is accepted to be its closest known relative. | Excepting a few fringe holdouts hidden in the classics departments of third-tier state colleges in backwater inland provinces, Coscivian and Occidental scholars agree that High Coscivian is a Cosco-Adratic/Transkiravian language and must be considered a primary branch of the Cosco-Adratic family in the absence of any known direct ancestors.

There exists a somewhat esoteric debate among Dark Philologists as to whether High Coscivian developed from a spoken natural language or was constructed ''ab initio'' as a ritual language. The use of contrived languages for ceremonial and religious purposes was not uncommon among ancient Kiravian peoples, and continues today in some [[Urom]] tribes. | There exists a somewhat esoteric debate among Dark Philologists as to whether High Coscivian developed from a spoken natural language or was constructed ''ab initio'' as a ritual language.

The (now asemic) ritual incantations used by ''[[paopatra]]'' practitioners are another possible analogue. | ||
