Pntek or Pnték is the dominant language in Pontesi and the native language of the Pntek people. As a North Jelbic language, Pntek is closely related to Brmek and Jelbek, to the point of mutual intelligibility, the main difference consisting in the adstratum: whereas Jelbek primarily uses Deltarian for its source of loanwords and Brmek uses Qedarite (Semitic) languages, Pntek is mostly influenced by Nrktek in its vocabulary.
