The ''' | The '''Hloh-Ku languages''' ([[Eevo]]: ''bo brits Lloo-Cw''; [[Hloh]]: ''Schmë Ntzog Schlaub-Kug''; [[Ku]]: ''lees yoo ndoigh Hloobh-Kuamh'') are a small family of languages native to [[Verse:Tricin/Bjeheond]]. Most modern Hloh-Ku languages are tonal. The proto-language, '''Proto-Hloh-Ku''', is 2500 years old. The family is based on the idea of IE languages recast as Hmong-like languages. Hloh-Ku languages had much more importance in the past, but today [[Tsjoen]], [[Wiobian]] and [[Rhythoed]] are more dominant in Bjeheond. | ||
