👉 Interstadial is a term used in linguistics to describe two languages that have been spoken together for a long time, but are separated by a period of time. This period may be due to geographic isolation, historical events, or other factors. Interstadials can occur between different languages, as well as between different dialects and regional varieties of the same language. The term is often used in the context of linguistic studies to analyze how two languages have evolved together over time.
