Kiryattic is most distinguishable by the preservation of word final Proto-Finnic k (as modern /g/) and h (as modern /k/).

It, as with most Finnic languages, remains decently conservative. Kiryaakattic is most distinguishable by the preservation of word final Proto-Finnic k (as modern /g/) and h (as modern /k/).

			==Classification==
			Kiryaakattic is a Finnic language, belonging to the Finnic branch of the Uralic family, making it related to Finnish, Estonian, and, more distantly, Hungarian. Kiryaakattic is one of the only Finnic languages that doesn't fit in the Finnic dialect continuum, as it's diverged enough to be distinctly separate. Despite this distance from the other Finnic languages, it still shares a notable amount of features, such as:
			:Shared morphology:
			:*An agglutinative structure, much like the other Uralic languages.
			:*Case suffixes, such as -ν for the genitive, and -να/-νά for the essive.
			:*Suffixes denoting the possession of the affixed noun.
			:Shared basic vocabulary that shows mostly regular sound correspondence to the other Finnic languages.

			The Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California, United States, classifies Kiryaakattic as a level III language in terms of difficulty for native English speakers, citing the sheer amount of morphology Kiryaakattic possesses.

			==Official Status==
			Kiryaakattic is a recognized minority language of Greece, and an official language in Central Macedonia.

			Kiryaakattic is given legal protections as a minority language by the Greek government, including protections against discrimination. Kiryaakattic is viewed positively by most in Greece, and has shown up in several pieces of media, including literature and film. It is also used within some schools, especially those that offer classes for the language.

			Kiryaakattic has gained more global recognition in recent years with the advent of short form content allowing for the viral spread of music and clips that include people speaking it.

	In 1985-87, the Academy of Kiryaakattic Linguistics (AKL) finalized a standardized form of the language that leveled the grammar completely, thus making everything entirely regular, this is the form of the language taught in schools, leading to most younger speakers using a variant of it, while older speakers continue to use the old forms, this can sometimes cause problems in communication between younger and older speakers. While this form is spoken natively by most ~~Kiryaks~~, especially the younger generations, it must be noted it did not arise through natural evolution, it was explicitly engineered to be how it is by an academy, to which a reformed language would be beneficial.

	Among this reformation of the language was many new loanwords from Greek to replace older words that could be seen as potentially offensive or derogatory, many of these already existed within the language, but were now the standard, such as "σκϊύλάσ" (From Greek "σκῠ́λᾰξ") replacing older "πενιγγα" (From Proto-Finnic *penikka), this specific example was already common among younger speakers, and it became especially so with the rise of the internet.
