The original language spoken in the region now known as Gendara. It is noted for being a syllabic-construction language, capable of conveying complicated concepts in single (albeit long) words.
This is accomplished by taking shorter words, and combining them. Thus, Sarn'alaeth (the K'an word meaning "Heart of Fire") is a combination of the words sarn ("fire") and laeth ("heart"), with 'a serving as a connector ("of").
No evidence has ever been discovered to assume that K'an had a written-language component. Thus, little exists of this language other than various place-names and a few other words.
