Ketmen is a pre-ngerupic minority language spoken in the People’s Republic of Yachiro. It is a linguistic isolate theorized to have once been part of a larger family of pre-ngerupic languages in Soltenna. Since the arrival of the Mañic peoples in Yachiro, Ketmen has been on the decline. The Ketmen people once inhabited the entirety of mainland Yachiro, but a history of suppression and colonization by the Yachiroese has severely decreased the number of Ketmen speakers. today the language is spoken mostly in small isolated communities on the small southwestern Ketmen islands.
