About Tast
Tast is an isolate spoken in the far North. Despite its deceptively short name, used both for the language and its speakers, it is highly agglutinative and its words can be extremely long. The Tast people are close allies of the Qomisian peoples, and both are considered great enemies of the Emisians.
