'''Sapkhan''' is the official language of Sapkha in [[Bjeheond]].
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' (''nủtufỉxi'', from ''nủtu'' 'Pategian' + ''fỉxi'' 'language') is a [[Pategic languages|Pategic]] language spoken by the [[Verse:Tricin/Pategia|Pategian]] people in [[Verse:Tricin|Tricin]].


<!--
It is inspired by Welsh, Hungarian, and classical IE languages (Latin, Greek and Avestan). Pategian is also analogous to Hungarian from a diachronic perspective: roots that are disyllabic in other Pategic languages are often monosyllabic in Pategian.


This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
==Dialects==
Pategian has 4 main dialects:
*Tảmhẻxra
*Fathrẩc
*Kẻlet
*Ảnfihẻzi


I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
==Phonology==
II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
===Consonants===
III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.

==Introduction==
===Vowels===

/a ɑ e i o u ɨ a: ɑ: e: i: o: u: ɨ:/


===Pitch accent===


Sapkhan is a tonal language and is unrelated to the [[Hlou]]-[[Ku]] languages.
Old Pategian had a pitch accent in long vowels which could be rising (written ả) or falling (written ạ). The distinction is neutralized in Modern Pategian.


==Phonology==
===Phonotactics===
No initial clusters, geminates allowed


Oddly enough, the only nasal sound present in Sapkhan is /ɳ/, as the others have undergone mergers. /m n ɲ/ merged with /b l j/ while /ŋ/ disappeared. Historical /z/ merged with /dʰ/.
Stress follows the Dreimorengesetz.

Most ancient Pategian poetry was written in flexible quantitative meters reminiscent of Vedic Sanskrit, but a few authors have experimented with the stricter quantitative meters used in [[Sowaár]] poetry. Stress-accentual meters and rhyming unmetric verse, influenced by [[Windermere]] poetry, are also common.
