About Quethan
Quethan, (native name quítıon, pronounced [kʷiɾen]), is my first attempt to make a language spoken on Earth. Progress is likely to be very slow since it seems every time I actually do something, I will scrap it following day. DICTIONARY OUT OF DATE!

<į> is actually dotless
I'm also working simultaneously with a nameless proto language and a sister language, Aphenian .
Still a terrible flag maker!
