My lang Altaii belongs to family called Vaiki in Altaii (and _Vaiksh_ in
Tairezazh and _Voiksh_ in Steianzh). A classical* language of this family,
"now" about as dead as Latin, is called _Vaikin_ in itself.

* Classical as in a formal standard language used for diplomacy, science,
high art etc long after the spoken form mutated into mutual
unintelligibility. A couple of such, namely Vaikin and Xaláishu [xa'lajSU],
play a pretty prominent role in the coniverse to which most of my langs
belong.
