Place & SpeakersDzok is spoken by a population of around 11,900,000 in Dzok Kua.
Species Human/humanoid
About Dzok Dzok is an isolating language spoken almost exclusively in the totalitarian state of Dzok Kua. It is a tonal language with seven distinct tones. Approximately 98% of native Dzok speakers speak no other languages, as they are not taught in school. Dzok Kua is one of the poorest nations on the planet of Phi Draconis B due to the complete intelligibility between Dzok and other languages of the planet, meaning trade with other nations is close to impossible. There are people who have learned Dzok from defectors in neighbouring countries like Ennovia and Evetanal, but talking with foreigners is a huge offence in Dzok Kua
