Classical Letsatian (lēsateĩ [lɛ:saˈtê:] or cirtẽ lēsateã [t͡ʃɪrˈtɛ̂: lɛ:sateˈâ:]) is a classical language of Ekuosia, belonging to the Aukidian branch of the Letsic language family. Originally confined to a small region on the northern coast of Baredina, it eventually became the dominant language across the region of Ekuosia for almost two millennia.
