Hlotderb (/ɬoʈ.ɛʁb/) is the language spoken in Pôkingajikastan (/pɔ.kiŋ.æ.ʒi.kæ.stæn/). It is believed to be a language isolate, but with heavy influence from Turkic and Altic languages. The name Hlotderb is derived from Hlotde(/ɬoʈ.ɛ/), the largest Hloterb-speaking city in the world as well as the larest city in Pôkingajikistan.
