About Alaskan Chukchi
In-Universe:
Chakamtüt, known as Alaskan Chukchi in English, is a Chukotko-Kamchatkan language/dialect continuum spoken throughout Alaska and Cascadia. It has some influence from the Minkéic languages as it has interacted with Tersiati for a few thousand years, but is definitely a beast of its own as languages go. Known for its incredibly extensive case system with 13 nominal cases 4 pronominal cases, heavy use of the glottal stop, complex consonant clusters, and dual use of the Latin and Cyrillic alphabet.
Out-of-universe:
I've been studying these languages for sometime, and I absolutely love them. So I made an a posteriori language based on them.
