Bukk

Bukk /bʊk/ is a family of languages, also known as Bukkean languages, which are spoken in northern Tarnaria, specifically in Laeooy Coast, former Heran and the Overpol Expanse, later Overpol Region in Homestead.

Bukk is known for its fluid pronunciation rules which makes it hard to master. Additionally, since bukk is not a single language, but at least 5 different languages, with each having several dialects, the same word could be spelled and/or pronounced slightly differently in different regions.

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.
