Kohtohkhan Raptoric is a saurian language which originated on the planet Dincota.
The language has evolved in total isolation from non-saurian languages until 200 years ago. It is unique in that the language itself is comprised only of 500 word-units and 50 connotative modifiers and 4 tones plus appropriated word syllables from other languages added after isolation ended. This has often been misunderstood as only 500 words (which is inaccurate). It is spoken in 3 nations (Kohtohkhan Republic of Dincota, Dibiian States and [[Miokalia]]) as the official language across diverse ethnicities and sub-species.
