Kœtetekian is a language I made back in 2018, then modified and uploaded in 2026. Its main gimmick is having too less words so very normal words are very long combinations. See "cousin" or "Loch Ness Monster" for example. Only me and my patescatesβaβa can speak it; and only I can speak it fluently.
WARNING: I don't know much about conlangs, so it's not that impressive. And all of this is licensed under [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en|CC CC BY-SA 4.0 International], I think. Happy creating Kœtetekian content, I guess?

The Kœtetekian numerical system is so complicated that it needs paranthesis.
The Kœtetekian numerical system is so complicated that it needs parentheses to operate properly. For example,
 
For example, paranthesis is needed stating the number "12001".
 
It's said as "Une (Dön Toc) Hunt" -> One (Two Ten)-Hundred -> One Twelve-Hundred -> Twelve-Hundred One -> Twelve Hundred and One
 
But without paranthesis, it would be:
 
"Une Dön Toc Hunt -> One Two Ten Hundred -> Hundred Ten One Two -> One-Hundred and Ten and One Two -> One Hundred and Eleven Twelve (There's no single number as "eleven twelve" [it only


exists as 2 numbers] but it's the most accurate translation of "Une Dön" that's a wrong Kœtetekian grammar, only written to create the thesis being that numbers with parts of them written
Une (Dön Toc) Thount = One (Twenty) Thousand = 20,001


in paranthesis not being the same as them not being in paranthesis.)

=== Ancient History ===
Kœtetekian history dates back to 11 AD. After approximately 16 years after [[w:Jesus_Christ|Jesus Christ]]'s birth, some Jewish radical fundamentalists created a cult that supported Jesus's teachings were wrong, and the only reason of their existence is for Judaism and Paganism's disinformation. The cult gained popularity and support by Roman officials in Levant, and is one of the reasons of Jesus's execution by the Roman Empire. Later, Christianity grew and the cult's main founder converted to it. This caused the dissolution of the cult. After the Pagan structure of Rome is threatened by Christians, the cult was illegally re-founded by Pagan extremist Romans, and did terrorist operations on Christians all across the eastern part of the Roman Empire. The cult's founders were banished from Rome after Constantine the Great converted to Christianity. Later, the cult founded and lived on a village they call "Kutetum", which expanded until the point that a nation was founded. Later, the Turks migrated to Anatolia and found an alliance with the nation Kutetania. After the 1st Beylik Era, the Kutetanians migrated east. Since they were minorities, they were dependent people and whenever something bad happened, they migrated east more. If you look at the country's territories over time, its eastwardness represents the age. Even though Kœtetekians are mostly dependent, the conservative population didn't let the vocabulary change, so the language has a lot of Latin features even if the country's located in Indochina.
=== Migration to Indochina ===
By the time Kœtetekians finally reached Indochina, their nation was invaded by Tibetan indigenous people and banished from the entire mountain range. In 1868, Kœtetekians were stranded on the Vietnamese jungle and don't have access to any industrial tool after countless Tibetan pillages and raids. There were no place eastward except America which was very far away to sail, so they sailed south to the island of Hòn Khoai, claiming to be indigenous and acting as a native tribe to cover the illegal immigration. They called themselves "Lemetians" (Lemeton) since it's similar to Kœtetekians (Coeteton). At one point, some Lemetians forgot they were Kœtetekians and found a new village inside the jungle, Neövo Papua. (New Papua) Later, the Kœtetekians founded 2 cities on the north -Dzatsacoro and Taceliři- which were renamed to Djatsacoro and Tacalařmos.
=== Modern History ===
==== Vietnamese War ====
During the Vietnamese War from 1955 to 1975, Kœtetekians found an alliance with United States of America and its puppet state South Vietnam in the winter of 1955. Later, the government official Tifi Nokeriva signed a treaty that states that Kœtetekians can have the right of sovereignty if USA can have military bases. The treaty was signed in March 14, 1955 which is celebrated as Independence Day still today in Kœtetekia. 2 air bases and 1 naval base was opened in Kuala Nort, which is the westernmost point of the island. Until 1960, Nokeriva was the president of the Kœtetekian Federation. (The country was split into Dzatsacoro capital area, Kœtetekian Republic and the Lemetian Administration) That year, the officials have decided to hold an election once every 5 year, including one for the new prime minister and prime delegate stands. Also, the fabricative and the juicidal branches were introduced.
==== Kopeleccian War ====
In the 1960 elections, 2 parties called the Leftist Party and the Rightist Party were introduced for preparation which then split up to form over 30 parties now. The rightist politician Reat Usariliff won the prime ministry. He created new ministries, and did a lot of reforms. In 1962, a group of people who call themselves "Kopeleccians" migrated to the Nicobar Islands and found the Dominion of New Kœtetekia. In 1963, New Kœtetekia declared war on Kœtetekia. 2 countries were very far away, so the battle front was Satun, Songkhla, Phatthalung and Trang provinces on Thailand. The navy of Koetetekia started using the strait of Malacca, but then Indonesia and Malaysia blocked the entrance of naval ships to prevent conflict. The illegal entrance to the Thai border caused the bombing of the 2 ports of Kœtetekia, Dzatsacoro and Tarußak. (which was renamed to Tarußay) The Kopeleccians invaded the city Kuala Nort which triggered USA, exxagerating the war. Later, the USA conducted a ceasefire between the 2 nations in 1978. Then, the Kopeleccian Ceasefire Boureau opened in the 3rd floor of the Government building while Kuala Nort was declared a buffer zone by UN Security Council. 
==== Kozelekland ====
In 1970's, the Koetetekian wing of hippies wanted to end the Kopeleccian war, so they went to the neighbouring island Hòn Sao, and found the Kozeleccian village. They claimed to be sovereign, but Kœtetekians stated that they can only be sovereign that's considered de facto. The village grew in size, but there were an increase in the number of immigrants to Kœtetekia because of the bad economy caused by the inferior means of production, exploitation of the proletariat and trade relationships. However, Kœtetekia's economy was much better since they maintained trade relationships with the surrounding Communist countries, even if they had an operating U.S. base. Later, officials established a refugee camp in the closest point between Kœtetekia and Kozelekland. The camp later evolved into yet another village called Koezelecvill that means Kozelekian City in Kœtetekian.
==== Civil War & Communism ====
In late 2022, a bomb hit the Tacalařmos Lighthouse starting the Great Taceliřian Fire. The reason of the bombing was because of a terrorist Lemetian supremacist group in Neövo Papua. Since the group's leader is actually the mayor of NP, Egrekal Teklamirov. This led to a controversy until a baker's dozen of soldiers entered Neövo Papuan Municipality building and asassinated Teklamirov. Then, the terrorist group tried to retaliate, but the Sub-Commanderate of Land Forces already sieged the village. Then, the US forces started an operation with Kœtetekia to capture the terrorist as a part of the War with Terror. Then, the president Raplaré Pnetsnase found the Kœtetekian-Lemetian union and changed the country's name temporarily to Lemetekia as a mix of both races (which are actually the same race) to calm everything down. In the 2025 elections, the Leftist Party member and social democrat Torina Sókulat won who made Kœtetekia a democratic socialist regime after the improvement of the Vietnamese and Lao relations.
=== Cities ===
==== Djatsacoro ====
Djatsacoro is the industrial and the government capital of Kœtetekia. The village has 3-story buildings with 3 skyscrapers. 2 of them are the tourists' favourite Cœteton Biyturyes translating to Kœtetekian Twin Towers, 10 story each.
