History

Classification

Posadi is classified as a linguistic isolate, though it borrows a fair bit of its vocabulary from nearby Okchon lnaguages.

Distribution

The Posadi language is found almost exclusively within the borders of Posadastan; however, many Posadi individuals and expat communities abroad maintain various forms of it.
