| '''Palkhan''' (''PAR-kən''; natively ''ṇatūgopaḷkha'' /ɳatuːgoːpaɭkʰa/, [[Rhythoed]]: ''brits Parca'') is the indigenous language of Palkha; it is a language isolate. Today it has few speakers. | |

| Palkhan allows retroflex dental clusters word-initially (like ḷd-) but not retroflex-retroflex clusters.
| | Based on the idea of "uncanny valley [[Tigall]]", with inspiration from Athabaskan. |
| | |
| Clusters (also allowed initially): NC-, lC-, ɳC-, ɭC-

| | Interpuncts ('''·''') should be used in ambiguous cases, to separate digraphs. |
|
| |
|
| Retroflexes are subapical.
| | ;Notes |
| | /ə/ followed by /m n ɳ ŋ ɭ/ are pronounced as syllabic consonants (similar to Tigall): [m̩ n̩ ɳ̩ ŋ̍ ɭ̩]. |
