Eketin

Classification and Dialects
Eketin is related to Zhuang because it uses some letters from Zhuang (e.g.: Ƃ, Ƌ, Ŋ ). It is spoken on Tihaanja in the country Parmof. Just as Old English sounds very different than modern English, Old Eketin is very different than modern Eketin. Parmof, which used to be a giant country that everybody relied on ( from 300 B C E - 100 C E ), spoke Eketin. Many books on Tihaanja are written in this language back then, and also to this day.
