About Nandut
Nandut ( Nandudayan-anubān) is the language spoken by the descendants of the former Naduta empire. Though directly descended from the Naduta language, the fall of the empire left the language and people with none of the prestige they formerly enjoyed, as they were overtaken by the Uyen, Tuchuqfa, and Katug kingdoms. Nandut now occupies a position of relative obscurity, being of little value outside of its homeland.
