Ingdikh(ingdikhet, [ɪŋtɪxəð̥]) is an Ontic language native to the Ingdikhs of the Republic of Ingdikh. It is the most spoken Ontic language with 30,450,000 native speakers as of 400 BH, and is the majority language of the Republic of Ingdikh, where it is co-official in status with Izhkut. It is also the most spoken language of the hypothetical Upé-Ontic language family, and is closely related to the Minurese language.

Emerging from Proto-Ontic peoples who migrated south from the Ont river and the further into the Ingd Basin and Kermë Plain around 1000 UH, the first records of Ingdikh emerged around 200 UH. Around 100 UH, the early Ingdikh states were invaded by the Kingdom of Izhkutrëa, beginning a 400-year colonisation of Ingdikh by the Izhkut; this colonisation left a large influence on the Ingdikh language through loanwords and a standardised orthography, which is still used to this day. This Izhkutifisation(Izhkut: Izhkutyomin) of Ingdikh accelerated as the occupation continued due to the increasing proliferation of nationalism in Izhkut colonies; this nationalism eventually coalesced into an organised Helsgit Revolution, which overthrew the Izhkut colonial administration and established the independent Republic of Ingdikh.
