'''Dilba''' (formally ''iktilih Dilba'' 'our tongue Dilba', assumed pronunciation [ʔihˈʨ<sup><small>h</small></sup>iliħ ʨɛlˈβä]) is an extinct language that was spoken by the Dilb people on the planet Lamuella.
'''Dilba''' (formally ''iktilih Dilba'' 'our tongue Dilba', assumed pronunciation [ʔihˈʨiliħ ʣɛlˈβä]) is an extinct language that was spoken by the Dilb people on the planet Lamuella.


The Dilb people migrated to another desert planet when the Lamuellan climate had become too moderate for them to live. When Lamuella was much later colonised, numerous hieroglyphic scrolls and rock inscriptions were discovered. By these means, the Dilba grammar and a large part of the lexicon have been reconstructed. The original pronunciation was subject to controversy but after compiling works of Dilba grammarians, a relatively plausible phonology has been established.
