Vacansian is an isolate language, which evolved from Old Cazesian in Vacansa after the collapse of the Kingdom of Cazeisia in the 19th century. The oldest Old Cazesian text with traces of Vacansian come from mid-northern Vacansa in the 12th century with the name "Kismo, kismo".

Sometimes the vacansian language is related with the Simakhastasian, spoken only by a little group of people in the district of Voreti.
