'''Socovíc''' (Socovíc: ''socovíc'' /ˈsotsoviːts/ or ''lesán socovija'' /ˈlesaːn ˈsotsovija/), sometimes called ''Sotsovian'' in English, is a North Semitic language spoken in the Turkey and Bosphorus area. It shares many features with Central Semitic languages such as Arabic, Aramaic and Hebrew; however, it preserves archaic features that have not survived in Central Semitic languages, as well as some innovations in its grammar. The name of the language, ''socovíc'' seems to have originated from {{recon|√s-t-w}}, a root meaning 'north' in Socovíc (cf. Hebrew {{heb|סְתָו}} ''săṯâw'' 'winter'). | '''Socovíc''' (Socovíc: ''socovíc'' /ˈsotsoviːts/ or ''lesán socovija'' /ˈlesaːn ˈsotsovija/), sometimes called '''Sotsovian''' in English, is a North Semitic language spoken in the Turkey and Bosphorus area.
