Baphian language: Difference between revisions

Line 264:

The definitive in Baphian is a fairly new development, past 100-200 years ago, and mostly only in areas where Azkali is spoken a lot (Turku, Bongsibon, Near the Azkali border, etc.). It is most certainly a borrowing, being the suffix "na", from Azkali's definitive circumfix "a...na". It is fairly controversial due to speciesism towards Azkali and Kali's in general, but is still widely accepted nonetheless.

== ~~Slang~~ and ~~Argot~~ ==

== Registers ==

Registers are different for every Baphian language, but there are consistently at least 3, those being: Zukyu, "Expectation", or service/work register, Shipmu haste, "Fear of illness", or religious register, and Cëyasmu shinzang, "Jackal-like heart", or the High register, used by those mostly in positions of power.

=== Zukyu ===

The Zukyu register is usually used by those in the service sector, like restaurants and stores. Usually, people speaking Zukyu use more polite, indirect and broad language, they also tend to never use the first person pronoun, unless admitting fault. It is theorized that Zukyu developed from the speech of concubines from as far back as the Bongsibon raid era.

=== Shipmu Haste ===

Shipmu haste is usually spoken by priests.

=== Cëyasmu Shinzang ===
