Khot (Amurlutan or Amur lutan [aˈmurluˌtan]) is a Khot-Hashic language of the Khotic branch spoken by the nomadic Khot people living around the southern and western coasts of the Krasna Sea, alongside various diaspora groups in countries such as Asconia and Darsavia.

History

Due to the nature of this language being mostly spoken, only acquiring a script (the Phyrean alphabet) relatively recently, most of Khot's history has been deduced from loanwords and comparative reconstruction with related languages, such as Hashan.
