Rõktiap

Rõktiap is an isolate language of central Etalocin. It is influenced by Rietzic languages like Rythoed.

Like Persian, Rõktiap is a pluricentric language and has three major registers today, Zinruol, Ttulmriusi and a third one simply named Rõktiap, the last being the oldest attested literary form. The Zinruol dialect is spoken in the mostly Rythoed-speaking country of Pechsalo and evolved with strong Rythoed substrate influence. Its speakers, especially more urbanized ones, believe that it is a separate language and the only actual descendant of Rõktiap, owing to the fact that it uses the Rythoed writing system, whereas linguists generally agree that it is mutually intelligible with Rõktiap. The Ttulmriusi dialect is written in the Rõktiap script and is a literary koiné drawing influences from both the Rõktiap and Zinruol registers, and has been a sort of informal standard for creative writing such as novels and poetry.

In addition, Zinruol is dialectally diverse, with twelve major dialect areas, eleven being close to standard Zinruol, and there is one dialect, Sõiptram, which is very Rythoed-influenced -- about 30% of the vocab is from Rythoed -- and much less mutually intelligible than other Zinruol dialects. However, recently there has been efforts to design a standardized form of the Sõiptram dialect which is mutually intelligible with other Zinruol dialects. At one point Zinruol went extinct with people preferring no fewer than five dominant languages: Rythoed, Ksieh, Dodellian, Clofabosin and Scellan. However, in modern times Zinruol was successfully revived and has produced a lot of pop culture.
