Khattish

Khattish Zupett [zɯpət'] is the language of Khat region in Grundet. Khattish derives from Proto-West-Herookuan languages and is a very distant relative of Rinapri. While Khattish is a cousin language of [[Sceptrian}}, the strong influence from Kher languages has made it hard to recognize the shared traits.
