About Southern Ngycetian
From the relatively tranquil mountain basin, to the hot and jagged deserts of the south, descended the Dubeisec, or the Dwellers of Sec. Food is scarce and water scarcer; the hostile environment required hostile means of obtaining these rare and vital resources.
The Dubeisec were a war-like people, depending on constant raids for supplies, or expecting them as their doom. The grammar reflects this ornery object obsession; Southern Ngycetian languages tend to have a default word order of OSV as opposed to their proto-lang (
Proto-Ngycetian), which usually used SOV.
