Kiryattic (/ˈkir.jæ.tɪk/ in the US or /ˈkir.jə.ˌtɪk/ in the UK, less often "Kiryish" /ˈkir.jɪʃ/) is a Finnic language spoken in Greece. Kiryattic is most distinguishable by the preservation of word final Proto-Finnic *k (as modern /ɣ/) and *h (as modern /k/).
Kiryattic (/ˈkir.jæ.tɪk/ in the US or /ˈkir.jə.ˌtɪk/ in the UK, less often "Kiryish" /ˈkir.jɪʃ/) is a Finnic language spoken in Greece. Kiryattic is most distinguishable by its loss of vowel harmony, as well as its preservation of word final Proto-Finnic *k (as modern /ɣ/) and *h (as modern /k/).
 


==Classification==
==Classification==
Kiryattic is a Finnic language, belonging to the Finnic branch of the Uralic family, making it related to Finnish, Estonian, and, more distantly, Hungarian. Kiryattic is one of the only Finnic languages that doesn't fit in the Finnic dialect continuum, as it's diverged enough to be distinctly separate. Despite this distance from the other Finnic languages, it still shares a notable amount of features, such as:

Kiryattic is one of the only Finnic languages that doesn't fit in the Finnic dialect continuum, as it's diverged enough to be distinctly separate. Despite this distance from the other Finnic languages, it still shares many features.
:Shared morphology:
:*An agglutinative structure, much like the other Uralic languages.
:*Case suffixes, such as -ν for the genitive, and -να/-νά for the essive.
:*Suffixes denoting the possession of the affixed noun.
:Shared basic vocabulary that shows mostly regular sound correspondence to the other Finnic languages.


The Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California, United States, classifies Kiryattic as a level III language in terms of difficulty for native English speakers, citing the sheer amount of morphology it possesses.

Kiryattic is believed to have split off from Proto-Finnic around 800AD, as the last language to do so. Following this is roughly 2 centuries of migration to Naissus, over which they'd pick up some influence from other languages along the way, notably Germanic and Slavic. This influence would be through loan words exclusively though, as no settlement stayed long enough to pick up more.

From roughly 1050AD to 1200AD, Kiryattic was spoken by the Kiryats in Naissus, where they'd pick up the first of their Greek influence, this was far more notable though, as they'd stay in Greece permanently, where Greek would start to influence grammar, mostly syntax, though it may be that the Greek influence was part of the development of the dual.

After 1200AD, it seems they began moving towards Greek proper, where they'd eventually settle in Macedonia in 1327AD, an event thought to be recorded in some historic texts from the time that mention the arrival of a strange people who spoke differently from the local Greeks, though it seems the Kiryats were accepted by the locals, as it's likely they could speak Greek.

It is important to note that handwritten Kiryattic often looks nothing like its displayed counterpart, as handwritten Kiryattic uses many unique letter forms, and also makes extensive use of ligatures and shorthand symbols, some of which are for Greek words, rather than native ones, as with the symbol for "και" often being used in place of native "ϊα" (though many younger speakers have replaced "ϊα" with "κάι")
Doubled letters are always long unless representing the coda position, where they're short, such as in "κϊαλϊλγ" /caʎʝ/.
 
A consonant followed by "ϊ" is always palatalized, in clusters, all consonants are palatalized, such as "λϊγκ" being /ʎɟ/. A general rule is only one "ϊ" per cluster, and it's always the earliest one, so if a compound would end up with "κϊλγϊ", it'll become "κϊλγ".
