A GRAMMAR OF PASSIKAANS
Passikaans is the harsh-sounding language spoken in and south of the Highpassian Veldt. It is thought to have developed from the primitive sounds spoken by early Highpassians combined with Shirithian Dutch and Shirithian English. The language was overshadowed for several years by Lakhesian, but is now making a comeback as it is taught in Passikaanskólegen, or Passikaans-language school across the Veldt.

Many of the legends of the Highpass area were originally recorded in Passikaans, such as that of Lódondla and Zplízyl, the local gods known in English as Rhodondra and Spleazure.
