Haxyakika (Tákśā Haxyā́kīkā) was a language that was originally spoken along the north-east coasts of the continent of Dāáśatkā between 2289 and 1582 BEV. The migration of large groups of Haxyakikans to the southern coasts of the continent of ʾAšṛna resulted in the division of the language dividing into two distinct subfamilies: Himoshian, spoken by the inhabitants of the southern coasts, and Tomosian, spoken those who remained on the north-east coats. Distinctive features of Haxyakika include an Agent-Patient morphology, three cases, pitch accent, and an honorific system in both verbs and pronouns.
