'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a Talmic language spoken by the {{PAGENAME}} people in [[Verse:Tricin|Tricin]]. It's inspired by Carrier (Dakelh), Welsh, Irish and Korean and is closely related to the Tigolic languages.
'''{{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.
