'''Palkhan''' (''PAR-kən''; natively ''ṇatūgopaḷkha'' /ɳatuːgoːpaɭkʰa/, [[Rhythoed]]: ''brits Parca'') is the indigenous language of Palkha; it is a language isolate. Today it has few speakers.
It is inspired by Welsh, Hungarian, and classical IE languages (Latin, Greek and Avestan). Pategian is also analogous to Hungarian from a diachronic perspective: roots that are disyllabic in other Pategic languages are often monosyllabic in Pategian.
