About Methinakhi
Methinakhi is the most widely spoken and the most numerous of the Methinak languages, which are native to Western Soltenna. Characteristic of the Mainland Methinakhic languages, it has a large consonant inventory and contrasts plain and ejective forms of voiceless fricatives and stops. Methinaqhi, just like the rest of the Methinak languages, has been influenced by Unknown [QKK]; as a result, it has borrowed words from the language. It is thought that the language has also borrowed words from Hux Kham language.
