Wiqta Languages

The Wiqtan languages (Vikti: paracas cioltin Vikti, Tuai: pracaz ciur din Viqti, Voto: baraka còtun Vúto, Heroh: parak ceyor veqti) are a group of linguistic varieties including Old Vikti and the languages descended from it.

Shared Features
The Wiqtan languages all descend from Old Vikti or Wiqta (kior wiqta-ya /kiɒr w̃iqta-j̃a/), and therefore share a majority of its vocabulary. Furthermore, all Wiqtan languages arrange sentences in SOV (subject-object-verb) order. Wiqtan vowel inventories are characteristicalyl small, ranging from 3-5 vowels in a given language.

Liturgical Branch
The Liturgical Branch consists primarily of Standard Vikti, considered to be the modern, literary form of Old Vikti. It is used by most of the Wiqtan peoples for the liturgical purposes of Avitras religious studies, worship, and other services. Historically, the language was synonymous with literary knowledge—anyone who knew how to write was writing in some form of Vikti. As time went on, the language was standardized as the lingua franca of Wiqtan science, law, and society.
