haitkaa

Haitkaa is a fictional language created for worldbuilding and speculative fiction. It is described as the native language of the island nation Haitka, located in the northern archipelago of the imagined continent of Meridia. In the in-universe documentation, Haitkaa is an agglutinative language with suffix-based morphology and vowel harmony. It follows a subject–object–verb (SOV) word order and uses suffixes to mark tense, aspect, mood, and evidentiality; demonstratives and numerals attach as prefixes to noun phrases. Nouns lack grammatical gender, and number is largely handled through demonstratives and measure words rather than plural inflection. The lexicon emphasizes compounds and borrowed terms from neighboring languages within the world.

Phonology is described as having a modest inventory: five vowels and around 18 consonants, with stress typically on the penultimate syllable. A writing system called Haitk script is presented in in-universe sources, though romanization variants are common among learners. The beginners' grammar guide provides sample dialogues, basic numeral syntax, and common idioms.

Haitkaa has appeared across multiple media produced by the same worldbuilding project, including novels, short stories, and fan compilations. It serves as a case study in conlang communities for illustrating affixal morphology and phonotactics in a plausible, fictional setting. Knowledge about Haitkaa is curated in an in-universe encyclopedia and fan-maintained grammars, reflecting collaborative worldbuilding practices.
