About Palacutek
Palácutek is one of several dialects of the Palacul languages spoken by the Palacul people. The Palacul are a chiroptero-humanoid subterranean species living near the terminator line of the tidally locked Gliese 667Cc. Palácutek splintered from Proto-Palacul due to earthquakes causing the collapse of many subterranean passageways.
The tidal forces caused many caverns to collapse, splintering the Lacul kingdom and cutting off whole Palacul populations from each other. Palácutek has since come into contact with various, more advanced, overworld races, both superterranean and aquatic, that also live along the terminator line. The oldest of the Palacul languages is still spoken in the caves on the dark side of the planet.
Language features: tri-consonantal root system / ergative-absolutive alignment / VSO or SVO structure
