-'''Izhkut'''(''yë-e-iskò'', <small>Izhkut:</small> [[Help:IPA|[jʌ.ɛ.iʃ͡kɒ]]]), also known as '''Ishcot''' is the second-most spoken [[Taskaric languages|Taskaric]] language in Radael, with a native speaker population of {{formatnum:126000000}} people, and it is spoken by another {{formatnum:234000}} as an L2 language, primarily in the Izhkut vassal of Pokht, but also by students in the nation of Ingdikh, where learning the language is a compulsory part of the curriculum. The language as a whole also operates as a ''lingua franca'' in the scientific community in Birnu, as well as in diplomacy on the continent. It is also one of the 8 official languages in the West Birnu Economic Union(WBEU).

 ====Stress====
-Stress in Izhkut is generally prototonic, although there is officially no stress pattern. When two words are agglutinised with a connective, like ''bay-e-liriëp''("road", lit. ''travel-<small>CON</small>-ground-<small>ACC</small>''), the stress is always placed on the connective, in this case being ''-e-''.

 ===Phonotactics===
-<!-- Explain the consonant clusters and vowel clusters that are permissible for use in the language. For example, "st" is an allowed consonant cluster in English while onset "ng" isn't. -->
+When a /s/ or /z/ is succeeded by a velar plosive(unvoiced or voiced), the /s/ or /z/ is post-alveolised and becomes /ʃ/ or /ʒ/ respectively.

 Connectives are the most striking feature of Izhkut, and are often used to derive even basic words, like river(''diui-e-këdevey'', lit. ''flow.<small>SING</small>.<small>INF</small>-<small>CON</small>.<small>2</small>.<small>INF</small>-water-<small>ACC</small>'').
