'''Rencadian''' (เรงกาทฃวงฃ์ว ''Rêngkaatkhwong'', เรงกาทมิฬก ''Rêngkaatmilok'') or '''Raxic''' (รกข- ''Rokkha-'' from Thens.

Rencadian (เรงกาทฃวงฃ์ว Rêngkaatkhwong, เรงกาทมิฬก Rêngkaatmilok) or Raxic (รกข- Rokkha- from Thens. Raxa-) is an a priori conlang inspired by Thai, spoken in the Tālsian country of Rokkhachhaam. It is unrelated to its main superstrate languages, Thensarian and Ramanujan, which it borrows from with phonotactic restrictions similar to Indic vocabulary in Thai. These strata in the Rencadian lexicon are natively termed เฒงษรพกษภ Thengsornphoksop and งอมอณุยณพกษภ Ngormornuyonphoksop 'Thensarian/Ramanujan borrowings' respectively, or informally เฒงษรมิฬก Thengsornmilok and งอมอณุยณมิฬก Ngormornuyonmilok 'Thensarian/Ramanujan words'.
