Itokto

General information
This language is spoken by the Itokto people, one of two branches of humanity. When one man, Yatko, had divine visions of a land over the sea, it created a rift in human society. Most of humanity thought it was insanity and opted to remain in its tropical homeland composed of scattered islands in the north of the known world (near the equator). The remainder followed Yatko on boats south to the New World. The Ikotko are those who stayed behind.

Alphabet
Written language has little cultural significance among the Itokto, and so their alphabet has been forgotten and re-created many times throughout history. Transcribed into English, the learner need only know ten letters:

a   e   i   o   y   t   k   s   l

Y is functionally the same as i, but has greater aesthetic appeal in certain contexts.
