Pictic is a conlang family by Jörg Rhiemeier that is spoken in the British Isles (by the "British Dwarves") in the League of Lost Languages. The Pictic languages are a branch of the Afro-Asiatic language phylum and thus related to Semitic, Egyptian and Berber languages. So far, only a few cursory notes on Pictic exist. The Pictic languages share a number of features (such as VSO word order and initial mutations) with the Albic and Insular Celtic languages, though they are not (known to be) related to any of the two. Rather, the three families in question form a linguistic area (see this article for details). The Pictic languages show ergative argument marking and triconsonantal morphology.
