Kemic
From Almeopedia
| KEMIC |
Kemic ['ki mɨk] is a family of languages, whose homeland is the Nikrit river valley of northeastern Arcél. Kemic speakers belong to the Melanke race, though there has been a good deal of mixing with Arcélian races. Kemic is remotely related to Kereminthic.
Kemic languages tend to be agglutinative and ergative-absolutive, with the word order EAV, and normally prefixing.

Historical Kemic peoples
Most of the historically prominent Kemic tribes were nomads, tending sheep, goats, and notseh cattle— and launching wars of conquest across the south.
