The Mutli, contraction between "Mutul" and "Li", an archaic classifier for languages, is the name given internationaly to the national language of the Mutul, officially known as K'altan, lit. "Biding Language". It's a standard variety of Mutulese used by the Divine Throne in all of its official documents, but also by all newspapers, publications, radio or television shows targeting a national demographic rather than one of the sixty officialy recognized ethnies of the Mutul. It started as an attempt to recreate Classic Chʼoltiʼan, the prestige language of the Chaan Dynasty and the ancestor of many of the most common modern languages spoken in the Mutul. It's pronounciation is based on the K'alak Muul speech, its vocabulary on Chʼolan languages, and its grammar on Glyphic.
It must not be mistaken for another, now extinct, language that was known as Mutli. This previous attempt at a lingua franca was a simplified version of Yokot'an taught thourough Mutulese Ochran to simplify communication between the diverse ethnicities, both Oxidentaleses, Ochraneses, and Malaio-Scipians, under the Nuk Nahob employment. It fell in use after the end of the Mutulese presence in the Vespanian Ocean, but had nonetheless left an impact on the development of many other languages, notably heavily inspiring the modern K'altan.
