Taxonomic Comparison Between Vikti and Proposed Language Families
The lexical inventory of Vikti has not been directly tied to any existing langage family, but there are proposed ties to many languages coming from Uralic, Turkic, and even Austronesian language families. Most numbers, for example, show close relation to Finnish and Estonian. Whether or not these similar words have always existed in Vikti or were borrowed and adapted over time is disputed. Recent loanwords primarily to come from both Greek and Latin, such as scientific words (e.g. anttorroporrokia "antropology" from Greek ἄνθρωπος ánthrōpos, “man, mankind, human, humanity”+ λογία logía).
