-'''Sapkhan''' (''Sap Khah vaam'') 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:
-I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
+*Tảmhẻxra
-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)
+*Fathrẩc
-III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.
+*Kẻlet

-==Introduction==
-Sapkhan is a tonal language and is unrelated to the [[Hlou]]-[[Ku]] languages.
 ==Phonology==
+===Consonants===
+p t ts tc k b d dz dq g ph th s c kh h f x z q m n l r lh rh j
-Oddly enough, the only nasal sounds present in Sapkhan are retroflex, as the others have undergone mergers. /m n ɲ/ merged with /ʋ l j/ while /ŋ/ disappeared. Historical /z/ merged with /dʰ/.
+/p t ts tʃ k b d dz dʒ g f θ s ʃ x h v ð z ʒ m n l r ɬ rʰ j/
-===Initials===
-p pʰ t tʰ ʈ ʈʰ c cʰ k kʰ bʰ dʰ ɖʰ ɟʰ gʰ
-pɳ ʈɳ kɳ pʰɳ kʰɳ pɬ kɬ pr kr pr̥ kr̥
-ɳ~ɭ̃ ɳʰ
-ts s tɬ ɬ l tʳ r̥ r j ʋ
-===Medials===
-a e i o u (e and i are realized as /ə/ and /ɨ/ after retroflex consonants; o and u are realized as /ø/ and /y/ after palatals)
-===Finals===
-Ø (null), p, t, ʔ, ṃ (realized as nasalization and lengthening of the previous vowel)
-===Tones===
-There are four tones in Sapkhan in addition to the unstressed tone:
-) high level (ā /a˥˦/)
-) mid level (a or ạ /a˧/); not used with breathy initials or final stops
-) low dipping (ǎ /a˨˩˦/); realized as a low level tone with final stops
-) mid rising (á /˧˥/); not used with final stops
-===Orthography===
-The consonants are written:
-''p ph t th nt nth c ch k kh b d nd j g''
-''pn tn kn phn khn phl khl pr kr phr khr''
-''n nh''
-''ts s thl hl l thr hr r y v''
+===Vowels===
+a â e i o u y ả ẩ ẻ ỉ ỏ ủ ỷ
+/a ɑ e i o u ɨ a: ɑ: e: i: o: u: ɨ:/
-The vowels are ''a e i o u''. Finals are written ''p t k m''.
+===Pitch accent===
-The high level tone is written with an ''h'' after the vowel if the final is null, or by doubling the final.
+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.
-The mid level tone is unmarked.
+===Phonotactics===
+No initial clusters, geminates allowed
-The dipping tone is written by doubling the vowel. If the final is a stop, the dipping tone is unmarked.
+Stress follows the Dreimorengesetz.
-The rising tone is written with an acute accent.
+==Morphology==
-==Syntax==
+==Poetry==
-Sapkhan syntax is strictly head-final.
+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.
