Kompekh is a minority language spoken in the mountains of Samárteþ, the main island of Samarkainia. It is a language isolate and any attempts to connect it to other languages spoken in the region have failed so far. However, the strongest theory is still that Kompekh is related to Saitlaa, a language isolate spoken in Alléteþ, Samarkainia.
