Kiryaakattic is a Finnic language spoken in Greece. It, as with most Finnic languages, remains decently conservative. Kiryaakattic is most distinguishable by the preservation of word final Proto-Finnic *k (as modern /g/) and *h (as modern /k/).

It is important to note that handwritten Kiryaakattic often looks nothing like its displayed counterpart, as handwritten Kiryaakattic uses many unique letter forms, and also makes extensive use of ligatures and shorthand symbols, some of which are for Greek words, rather than native ones, as with the symbol for "και" often being used in place of native "ϊα"

As can be seen, Kiryaakattic has unique negative forms, these developed from the suffixation of Proto-Finnic *e- (negative verb) to the connegative form, these connegative forms were later lost, leaving only the negative forms.
In informal speech, a past potential and past optative may be heard, taking the root "-α-" and making it "-ιε-" in the potential, and taking the root "-α-" and making it "-ι-" in the optative.
