The Yokultans (Niryokulta: Jokulčald [ˈjokʰʊɫt͡ɕɑɫt]; Ngumyokulta: Joǩõlčäld [ˈjoxɤɫt͡ʃɑɫt]; Duryk: ?? [...]; Ngeyv: ?? [...]) are an ethnic group that originally comes from northwest Miraria. The vast majority of them lives in Akamyokulta and minorities also reside in Durykia and Ngeyvger.
Language
The national language of Yokultans is Niryokulta. Out of ~60,000 Yokultans, about 55,000 speak it as their L1 and is estimated that no more than 3,000 speak it as L2. About 1,200 of northern Yokultans in addition to Niryokulta also speak Ngumyokulta, a dialect of Niryokulta that is considered a separate language by some linguists. The rest of Yokultans speak Duryk or Ngeyv, with a little or none knowledge of Niryokulta.
Etymology
The name in Niryokulta literally stands for "Yokulta people"; jokul means "person or human", -čal is a derivational affix meaning "person" and -d is a plural marker.
