'''Sapkhan''' is the official language of Sapkha in [[Bjeheond]].
'''{{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.


This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
==Dialects==
 
Pategian has 4 main dialects:
I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
*Tảmhẻxra
II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
*Fathrẩc
III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.
*Kẻlet
 
*Ảnfihẻzi

==Introduction==
 
 
Sapkhan is a tonal language and is unrelated to the [[Hlou]]-[[Ku]] languages.


==Phonology==

===Consonants===
p t ts tc k b d dz dq g ph th s c kh h f x z q m n l r lh rh j


Oddly enough, the only nasal sound present in Sapkhan is /ɳ/, as the others have undergone mergers. /m n ɲ/ merged with /b l j/ while /ŋ/ disappeared. Historical /z/ merged with /dʰ/.
/p t ts tʃ k b d dz dʒ g f θ s ʃ x h v ð z ʒ m n l r ɬ rʰ j/
 
==Initials==
 
p pʰ t tʰ ʈ ʈʰ c cʰ k kʰ bʰ dʰ ɖʰ ɟʰ gʰ


pɳ ʈɳ kɳ pʰɳ kʰɳ pɬ kɬ pr kr pr̥ kr̥
===Vowels===
a â e i o u y ả ẩ ẻ ỉ ỏ ủ ỷ
/a ɑ e i o u ɨ a: ɑ: e: i: o: u: ɨ:/


ɳ~ɭ̃ ɳʰ
===Pitch accent===


ts s tɬ ɬ l tʳ r̥ r j ʋ
Old Pategian had a pitch accent in long vowels which could be rising (written ả) or falling (written ạ). The distinction is neutralized in Modern Pategian.


==Medials==
===Phonotactics===
No initial clusters, geminates allowed


a e i o u
Stress follows the Dreimorengesetz.


==Finals==
==Morphology==


p, t, ʔ, ṃ (realized as nasalization and lengthening of the previous vowel)
==Poetry==


==Tones==
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.
