Halhi

Halhi, the old language of Xampat, is only spoken in some small islands near Xampat as well as the mountain valley in Xampat. It has around 10,000 speakers, and is heavily discouraged throughout Xampat but is spoken relatively freely in some small islands.

Due to it being discouraged, it is spoken relatively secretly, and therefore has formed two very separate but mutually intelligible dialects.

The two dialects are:

Xampat Central, spoken by about 3,000 people in the central hills and valleys.

Xampat Coastal, spoken by about 7,000 people on the coastal islands near Xampat, especially the island of Katuk (~1000 people.)

The language is incredibly rare to find, but is spoken by ancient communities that originate from before the royals came into power and oftentimes are against the royal family, though not always.
