About Ghoulish
The language of ghouls from my conworld with SVO word order, 7 noun cases, Indo-Iranian and Kartvelian vocabulary. Has three dialects: Tsagat, Khavir, and, the most spoken of them, Daksheen, spoken at the south, in Čeoaeaiea, even though humans had attempted a holocaust, which, however, still resulted in some ghouls fleeing into the north and forming the other two dialects. Daksheen dialect is also known for its /ħ/ and /x/, and it's the closest dialect to Sanskrit and Georgian
