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]].
 
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.
 
==Dialects==
Pategian has 4 main dialects:
*Tảmhẻxra
*Fathrẩc
*Kẻlet
*Ảnfihẻzi


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

===Revitalization efforts===
Common objection: Retroflex dental clusters are too hard to pronounce
==Phonology==
==Phonology==
Palkhan allows retroflex dental clusters word-initially (like ḷd-) but not retroflex-retroflex clusters.
Clusters (also allowed initially): NC-, lC-, ɳC-, ɭC-

===Pitch accent===
Applicatives and incorporation


===Pronouns===

*''añjaḍu'' = I
*''nāri'' = thou
*''vuṭa'' = he/she
*''pāri'' = we
*''ḷtāntu'' = ye

==Poetry==


*''ṇnaṇuna'' = frying pan
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.
*''āpalā'' = apple
*''Calvaḷuṭṭu ḷāṇahē paḍataprōti muḷdāruṭa''
*''vaṇa'' = old
*''Kaḷēvaḷa'' = Palkhan national epic?
*''sāḷda'' = hall
*''kaḷaṇālā''
*''ḷdakūna'' = gap
**''ḷdakūnā maṭāṭā''
*''ekū'' = 'self'
