'''Pokht''' (Pokht: ''bokhtjoeğ'', <small>pronounced</small> [[IPA for Pokht|[ˈb̥ɔxddʒøːw, ˈb̥ɔxddʒøːj]]]; [[Izhkut]]: ''jënn pokht'') is a [[Taskaric languages|Taskaric]] language or group of languages spoken by various Pokht peoples in the region of Pokhtreg, namely in southern [[Izhkut|Izhkutrëa]] and parts of northern [[Ingdikh]]. It is also spoken by a significant [[w:Diaspora|diasporic]] community on the island of [[Etzeá|Etzeán]], especially in [[Néekh]] territories such as Arkhûz and the greater Tûznam Basin. | '''Pokht''' (Pokht: ''bokhtjoeğ'', <small>pronounced</small> [[IPA for Pokht|[ˈb̥ɔxddʒøːw, ˈb̥ɔxddʒøːj]]]; [[Izhkut]]: ''jënn pokht'') is a [[Taskaric languages|Taskaric]] language or group of languages spoken by various Pokht peoples in the region of Pokhtreg, namely in southern [[Izhkut|Izhkutrëa]] and parts of northern [[Ingdikh]].

Linguistically, Pokht is a descendant of [[Old Izhkut]], making it a sister language of [[Izhkut]] and the now-extinct [[Ilyod]] language. However, unlike other Old Izhkut descendants and its ancestor itself, Pokht is much more [[w:Inflectional language|inflectional]] than the more [[w:Isolating language|isolating]] [[Izhkut]], and incorporates a rich verbal paradigm that conjugates on [[w:Grammatical person|person]], [[w:Grammatical tense|tense]] and [[w:Grammatical aspect|aspect]] | Linguistically, Pokht is a descendant of [[Old Izhkut]], making it a sister language of [[Izhkut]] and the now-extinct [[Ilyod]] language.

Pokht varieties historically constitute a [[w:Dialect continuum|dialect continuum]], which once encompassed the entire Pokhtreg; the notion of a singular Pokht language was primarily introduced by [[Izhkut]] colonial segregatory practices which distinguished the Pokht peoples(hitherto not recognised as a single people) as different from the supposedly superior Izhkut. As such, the contemporary classification of Pokht is incredibly controversial among the Pokht peoples, as its classification as one language evokes the lingering effects of Izhkut colonialism but also contradictingly evokes the antithetical Pokht independence movement, which has advocated for unity among Pokht peoples against a common Izhkut aggressor. | Pokht varieties historically constitute a [[w:Dialect continuum|dialect continuum]], which once encompassed the entire Pokhtreg; the notion of a singular Pokht language was primarily introduced by [[Izhkut]] colonial segregatory practices which distinguished the Pokht peoples(hitherto not recognised as a single people) as different from the supposedly superior Izhkut.
