'''Riukish''' ([[w:endonym|autoglossonym]]: Ribnú; <small>Riukish : </small>[[w:ipa chart|[riβnʉː]]]) is a minority language spoken in Lincai (<small>Riukish :</small> Ricda [[w:ipa chart|[ricð̞ä]]]), province in which the majority language is [[Makari]]. Riukish is a language isolate, as it is not related to any languages known in the Ragian subcontinent, place where the Proto-Kinavel language evolved. One of the hypothesis about the provenance of Riukish is that merchants from Kalari brought their language to Lincai, around 900 years ago.

Gramatically speaking, Riukish is a [[w:Fusional lanuage|fusional]] language, even though verbs can be considered as [[w:Agglutinative_language|agglutinative]]. It has a split-ergative alignment, with case depending entirely on verb voices, a concept that Riukish makes extensive use of.
