Arnic(iguro Arnah, Arnic: [igʲʏro aɾn̯ɐh]), also called Arakite, is a Gadaïc language and the official language of the Moshurian vassal of Arnah. It is one of six majority languages in Gadah, and is the second most spoken there after Ösrish.
Arnic is a Proto-Gadaïc-derivative, meaning it primarily derives from the Paleogadaic derivative, Proto-Gadaïc. This differs from Psér, which is a direct derivative from Paleogadaic.

Palatalisation & labialisation
When a plosive is followed by a front close or near-front near-close vowel, the plosive palatalises, as so:
- /g/ + /i/ → [gʲi]
When a plosive is followed by a back vowel like /u/, the plosive instead labialises instead, as so:
- /g/ + /u/ → [gʷu]
