About Minotaurian
Also known as Northern Minotaurian, it's spoken by minotaurs around the ecuator by the river that divides Amthi from Ŕepčilźemě - one of the most linguistically diverse areas in my conworld.
The most of Minotaurian vocabulary is Greek, and a bit of it is Nepali. However, its grammar is highly agluttinative, with almost 30 noun cases, adjective following the noun, and the VSO word order.
