Souk

Souk is the native language of the Kai people in Southeast Asia. It is by far the most widely spoken of the Kai-Souk languages, a branch of the Mon-Khmer or Austroasiatic language family. Souk is head-first and primarily isolating, but employs a series of infixes and regular ablaut pluralization. It has a simple, predictable tone system.
