'''Makka Pakkan''' (Makka Pakkan: ''Märkanpalkajënsik'' [mɑrkanpaːlkˈajɛnsiːk]) is an [[Rakanen languages|Rakanen language]] of the [[Okchon languages|Okchon family]]. Its closest relatives are the other Rakanens languages, becoming the most dominant of the language branch. Today, over 94,000,000 people speak Makka Pakkan with 95% living in Makka Pakka and 5% across [[Telrova]]. Makka Pakkans have migrated throughout Telrova and established communities, especially throughout [[Elisia]] and [[Laurentia]], which has spurred on numerous dialects and even creole languages, most notably [[Ḳeltekesëmärkaṇaparkajënsek]].
'''Makka Pakkan''' (endonym: '''markǫpalką jęzek''') is a South Rakanen language. It is the native language of the Makka Pakkans and belongs to the [[Okchonic languages|Okchonic language family]]. It is one of three living South Rakanen languages, and is also a part of the larger Rakanen languages. Approximately 102 million people speak Makka Pakkan fluently with 97% living in [[Makka Pakka]]; however, only 65% of the Makka Pakkan population speak it as a first language.  
The Akádemja val markǫpalką jęzek (English: Makka Pakkan Academy) is the principal Makka Pakkan council for matters pertaining to the Makka Pakkan language.


==History==
==History==
Makka Pakkan orignated from [[Szetënkabäratön]] and is considered to be a relatively new language, developing from a [[South Rakanen languages|South Rakanen]] dialect to a fully-fledged language in the 14th Century BCE. This late development compared to other South Rakanen languages which had developed into languages by the 20th-19th Century BCE - this is because of Szecënkabäratön's geogrpahic isolation as the region is formed around a forested vale which did hinder contact from others and political isolation as the Kingdom of Grättan and its rulers - the House of Lechenclüdzem - adopting a policy of isolation for almost 500 years, so, Makka Pakkan retained much of the South Rakanen phonology after several other neighbouring dialects were transformed or assimilated by other languages.
Makka Pakkan is a Rakanen language that evolved out of the South Rakanen dialects spoken in souhern Wolcazem. The language's early forms include Old Makka Pakkan, Early and Late Middle Makka Pakkan.


===Old Makka Pakkan===
===Old Makka Pakkan===
By the time the House of Aturanclüdzem would replace the House of Lechenclüdzem following the death of Aleksander II val Lechenclüdzem in 1533 BCE, Early Old Makka Pakkan was a young language, having only existed for nearly 100 years and was still resemblant to South Rakanen and even after the lifting of the policy of isolation and improvement of trade-networks, Early Old Makka Pakkan was largely untouched and remained as a South Rakanen remnant and even after the kingdom started expanding, Old Makka Pakkan remained relatively the same until the 9th Century BCE when several linguistic changes occurred following the conquest of Grättan by the [[Ëlberenclüdzemęl Empire]]. Though a short-lived state - lasting only 54 years - the influence of North Rakanen languages created Late Old Makka Pakkan and still permeate today with the phonemes [d͡ɮ] and [d͡ʒ]. Late Old Makka Pakkan would then remain the same after the collapse of the Ëlberenclüdzemęl Empire despite the re-established Kingdom of Grättan began conquering their neighbours.


===Middle Makkka Pakkan===
===Middle Makka Pakkan===
Middle Makka Pakkan would begin to develop after the Kingdom of Grättan entered its golden age in the 2nd Century BCE, expanding its territory and trade connections which saw several influences on culture and language as the arts begn to expand with Makka Pakkan literature and architecture inspired by the story-telling of foreigners. However, by the turn of the 2nd Century, the [[Okchon Empire]] began conquering several Rakanen states and created a [[Rakanenatön Confederation|confederation of Okchonic client states]]. For the next 100 years, Okchonic culture seeped into mainly the North Rakanen states though it did affect the nearby South Rakanen states with a few cultural and linguistic changes.


===Modern Makka Pakkan===
===Makka Pakkan Academy===
The [[Makka Pakkan Renaissance]] marked the beginning of Modern Makka Pakkan as the fine ideas of culture: art, literature, architecture, became revitalised from foreign influences and the language changed with foreign words entering the vocabulary of societies of the Enlightenment and high society …
The Akádemja val markǫpalką jęzek (English: Makka Pakkan Academy) was formed in 1938 from the Makka Pakkan Language Act to regulate the Makka Pakkan language due to local differences which the Fascist government intended to erase to improve bureaucracy and communication between the local and national government and further solidify a united Makka Pakkan identity. Even after the overthrow of the Fascist government in 1949, the Academy remained and has grown to be an influential force amongst even other Rakanen languages for example ...
 
==Classification==
Makka Pakkan is a member of the South Rakanen languages, along with other languages such as Parsan and Upran. Along with the rest of the Rakanen languages, Makka Pakkan is descended from the Okchon language. Despite its placement in the Okchonic language tree, it is widely considered a linguistic black sheep amongst other Okchonic languages. ...

The [[Makka Pakkan alphabet]] consists of 56 letters; 41 consonants and 15 vowels. Makka Pakkan has 6 unique characters uncommon in other Latin script-based alphabets; Ͱ, Ꝇ, ẞ, Ϝ, Ʒ, Þ, Ꝩ.
!rowspan=2|
Despite the latinisation of Makka Pakkan, runes are commonly used in rural areas though mostly by the elderly generation and has been considered endangered due to declining usage so conservation efforts have been pushed forward by both the government and the people.
