| '''Daekuu''' ([[English|ᴇɴɢ]]: /daɪ̯.kuː/), or '''ɢǀáe̠ʰkúuʰ''' (ᴅᴋᴜ: [ɢ͡ǀá̤é̤ˤkṳ́ː]), is a click language whose phonology is heavily inspired by [[w:Taa_language|!Xóõ]], a language spoken in [[w:Namibia|Namibia]] and [[w:Botswana|Botswana]]. It suddenly appeared in [[Nguhcraft]] without explanation. The [[Realm of Madness]] attributes this and the sudden appearance of the [[KWMs]] language as the result of a invasion of untraceable languages from another dimension. Languages from this dimension are described as descending from a linguistic anomaly, possibly a proto-language, called [[Deep Dimensional]].

| | |
| == Phonology ==
| |
| | |
| === Pulmonic & Glottalic Consonants ===
| |
| There are 72 non-click consonants. Most plosives and affricates have only specific vowel phonations they can precede. Some have voicing allophony depending on which vowel phonations they precede.
