The '''Kuduk Language''' (Kuduk: ''Tanatōxa'') is a language solely spoken within the Tribal Federation of Kuduk. It is the sole official and national language of Kuduk and is a recognized language of the RCEU. Kuduk's dialects tend to differ in phonology and pronunciation, though rarely differ in grammar. Modern Standard Kuduk (MSK) was created during the 19th century as a bridging language between the differing dialects of Kuduk. There is an estimated 900,000 people who speak Kuduk at a native level.
Kuduk is considered an agglutinative, polysynthetic language with many affixes and few root words with many meanings prescribed to them. Kuduk is also considered a tenses language, marking time via separate words to establish a time reference.
Kuduk is written using two writing systems: a logographic system (Kuduk: tano), and a syllabic system (Kuduk: takara). Tano is the older of the two systems and predates Takara by about a few hundred years. Takara was created in order to write the names of people and places, and later on was used to write loan words. Its debated over how many strokes modern Tano has exactly, but many linguists agree that it has at least 6 distinct strokes that could make up a logograph.
