Palkha (BARK-uh; Rhythoed: Barca /ˈpaɾkʰə/, Barcan: 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 scale consisting of 25 "tones", some of which are defined as vibratos with fixed endpoints.

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
