Takkenit language or Takkenkikle [ˈtɑ.kːən.ˌkik.lə] - is a language, spoken in a mesolithic Eastern European plains (circa 6000-7000 BCE) on the territories of modern Northern Ukraine and Western Belarus. It showed some features, found in distant languages like Proto-Indo-European and Proto-Yuralic or even Chukchi and Yukaghir to the far east of Siberia. Some linguists claim this to be relicts of a hypothetical proto-Nostratic unity, however this theory is still disputed.

Orthography
Takkenit has never been a written language, its stories and songs were transfered orally from generation to generation until the extinction of the language. I use Latin script with some additional letters (ŋ and sometimes also ə) to fully cover the phonology of Takkenit, which is fairly simple.
Consonants
The Takkenit consonant inventory is very simple. The most interesting feature of it is a complete lack of any fricatives. Geminated consonants, which are represented with double letters (like tt, or kk) can be analyzed as a sequence of two same sounds.
