Bukk /bʊk/ is a family of languages, also known as Bukkean languages, which are spoken in northern Tarnaria and the Overpol Expanse, later Overpol Region.
Bukk influences are seen in many names which would pronounce 'o' as 'uh', in names such as Done, Ton and Dod. It is also customary to see the letter “u” pronounced as “oo”, just like the name of the language itself, bukk, is pronounced as the word “book”. The vowels are also never dropped from the endings.
Bukkean languages have a characteristic intonation of finishing a phrase or a sentence with the tone going up, which to a foreigner might sound like the speaker is counting or listing items off. This monotonous quality is widely regarded as aesthetically pleasing and also a sign of nobility when utilized in formal situations, such as weddings, funerals and legal proceedings. Mandae is frequently read with a similar monotonous intonation, albeit with a different tonal pattern.
