About Aqtim
Spoken along the banks of the river Aqti, from which the Aqtim people take their name, the Aqtim language is the largest Sagorsan language by influence, and by number of speakers still present in Aurka. It's official in the Confederated Kingdom of Aqtimmaqcy, where it is spoken by almost seventeen million people, but few speakers of the language exist beyond the territory of that country- primarily concentrated in the Ocraudian-held Afragan Coast.
