Aiyoti (alt. Aioti) is the largest surviving East Serkr language, it is the national & most spoken language in Aiyota/Aiota. The language is agglutinative/fusional. "Official Aiyoti" is highly standardized and often differs a lot from regional dialects.

Romanized Alphabet:

Dialects

Although Aiyoti is a highly standardized and nationalized language, dialects still remain very prevalent with some being just barely reminiscent of Standard Aiyoti (eg. Kyintan Yang Aiyoti) Here is a comparison between Standard Aiyoti, Saghi Aiyoti and Kyintan Yang Aiyoti, mind that these are extremes.

- Standard Saghi KY
Eye Veréda Asúlli Vekkette
Beauty Luilin Aruźok Pattaré
"Your"
