Tarkas-Brackian

Tarkas-Brackian (Endonym: Ellaskágti [ɛt͡ɬɑʰ.ˈskɒxʰ.tʰɨ]) was a sister language of Euluska spoken in the Eastern Danderillon around Datria, Bracken, and parts of southern Rakkimar. It evolved from colonial Middle Euluska brought to the continent in the first millennium, but developed a lot of unique changes, most notable of which were widespread aspiration, a lot of unusually voiceless consonants, and a spoken language that surpassed its already different orthography. Tarkas (spoken more southerly) and Brackian (spoken in the Bracken Valley) formed a dialect continuum, with about 4.068 million total speakers in the 250s C. 
== Notes ==
Brackian showed more stød, and reduction of unstressed syllables, as well as shifting consonants like R's and G's to a more uvular position, and preaspiration into /x/.
Tarkas-Brackian word stress was either word-initial or penultimate, which was a difference from Euluska's being only penultimate unless specified. Plurals were formed by geminating the final consonant and adding -i. All stops were voiceless in Tarkas, and the consonant <h> added preaspiration or voicelessness to its succeeding consonant, which included voiceless rhotics, voiceless laterals, and voiceless nasals - quite unusual! Its orthography was often quite irregular, with a LOT of sounds.
