Kutic(gũmni) is a language isolate, but not in the conventional form. Although linguists have mostly deduced that Kutic probably originates in various indigenous languages, specifically what these ancestral languages were have not been decrypted due to a lack of any sort of document left behind by these "Proto-Kutic" peoples. Additionally, these Proto-Kutic languages can not be comparatively reconstructed due to such a small linguistic sample size, as no other language, even those who descended from indigenous languages aside from Kutic has had any sort of genetic relation found.

Various theories have popped up over the years, with the most prominent probably being the Hõduic Hypothesis, dreamt up by genius Arnic linguist Môhwod ða-Téfir, who, before forming said hypothesis, had just formed the Yeldha Language Theory and written comparatively reconstructed vocabulary for Proto-Yeldhic. This hypothesis claims that the now extinct indigenous Hõduic languages, which heavily influenced Tiragii morphology, may have had a role in the morphology of Middle Kutic. He presents evidence for this with proposed cognates between the two languages, e.g. Hõduic *pṓ(r)V → Middle Kutic pugẽ.
