CALLED IT HEAVENLY LANGUAGE ...KIPUT...

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.
