Xìjekìx ("Language of ruin(s)", in English called Xijekian) is a language of the Jakkìx branch of the Vermicja family.
It's spoken mainly in Xìjek and the surrounding regions, with a total of around 150M people.
Unlike other languages of the Vermicja family, Xìjekìx lost all the nasals and the vibrants, and added two lateral fricatives (/ɬ/ and /ɮ/) and two lateral affricates (/tɬ/ and /dɮ/).
