THE BEAUTY OF KIPUT.....
The languages of northern Sarawak are noteworthy for their unusual phonological histories. Even among these, KIPUT is exceptional. All North Sarawak languages reflect a split of the Proto-Austronesian voiced obstruents into a series of plain voiced obstruents and a parallel series of phonemic voiced aspirates, and most of the same languages have fronted low vowels after a voiced obstruent, or have developed systems of verbal ablaut from the infixes *-um- and *-in-. EXAMPLE:::
IN KIPUT....LAI'' PAI ENAU NOW''? MEANING IN ENGLISH::: SON WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
The beauty of the sound is in the isness of the spoken words...................
That all for now..till next time.
Regards.
