'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Lakovic]] language spoken by Zoomers. It's a tonal language with clicks and mutations.
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' (''dgē Tłkaw'' /ŋ{{tiebar}}!ɜː kǁaw/; ''dgē'' is related to Naeng ''tnger'' 'voice') is a Lakovic language spoken by the Tłkaw people in Eastern Talma. It's inspired by Hebrew, Nama, Zulu, and !Xóõ. It's in a sprachbund with [[Yacavestub]] and [[Wiobian]].
<!--


This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
!xu||xam!xai


I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
The demonnym ''Tłkaw'' comes from PLak *lakof 'human'.
II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.
