fhokki
With only minimal Dejy influence, the modern Fhokki language
has changed little from the Fhokki spoken by the tribes that first
migrated across the Wild Lands. The use of hard consonant sounds in
double and even triple letter combinations characterize the language.
There are many dialects and accents of Fhokki spoken by the various
tribes, but unlike Dejy, the Fhokki language remains consistent
throughout.
Written Fhokki has changed even less than the spoken language.
The language uses the letters A, B, D, E, F, G, GG, H, I, J, K, KK, L, M,
N, O, R, RR, S, T, TT, U, V, W, and Y. The greatest change has been in
the use of parchment and quill. Only within the last century or so
have the Fhokki scribed their history. The migratory tribes of Fhokki
thought carrying a history written on wood or stone tablets would be
too burdensome so they made their recordings on trees and in caves,
typically with the blood of the hunt. Only when the tribes settled
down and erected permanent structures did Fhokki scribes and tribal
elders begin recording their history in a more permanent manner.
Today, almost every Fhokki town has a library containing volumes of
ancient Fhokki history and tribal traditions.
Fhokki disdain the use of surnames. They feel that a good name
can describe a person well enough by itself. For this reason, they also
prefer to use a unique name for each person, since each person is
unique. Families retain some element in their names (such as Edok,
Edorrad, and Ederan) because family members are related and their
names should also be related. It also helps others keep track of who
belongs to who.
