Palkha (BARK-uh; Rhythoed: Parca /ˈpʰaɾkʰə/, Palkhan: Paḷkha /paɭkʰa/, Roshterian: Qaanuuṯu) is a predominantly Rhythoed-speaking Eta-Talman country. It is located near Verse:Tricin/Qaaroshter.
Geography
Its capital is Răthamrona (Ḷdamrōṇa in the native Paḷkhan language).
Wildlife
Barca has distinct wildlife though not as distinct as Cualuav.
Music
Inspiration: Carnatic music, gayageum sanjo
The quintessential Palkhan musical instruments are the tsaltho (chaḷdō in Palkhan), very similar to the cello, and the Palkhan drum (pātre).
Palkhan music is based on a fusion of native styles and Lakovic ones. Native Palkhan music tends to be richly ornamented, and is based on a unique set of 25 "tones", some of which are defined as vibratos with fixed endpoints. The underlying scale, though, has only 10 tones per octave.
Some ornaments include:
- grace notes
- rapid trills and turns
- slides
- pronouncing retroflex consonants in lyrics so that the tongue slaps the floor of the mouth, producing a percussive effect
Songs in both Palkhan classical and pop music address a wide variety of themes.
Palkha has its own offshoot of Windermere music as well. Some styles that fell out of use in Talma are still commonly performed in Palkha, such as the song with intoning voice.
