Inspiration: Dravidian languages, Marathi
'''{{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]].


'''Barcan''' (''BAR-kən''; natively ''ṇtūgopaḷkha'' /ɳtuːgoːpaɭkʰa/, [[Skellan]]: ''brits Barca'') is the indigenous language of Barca; it is a language isolate. Today it has few speakers.
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.


Capital of Barca: Yrðamrona (Barcan: Ḷdamrōṇa)

*''ṇnaṇuna'' = grandmother
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.
