== History ==

The history of Baphian is several millennia long and widely debated. Few things are agreed upon in its history - those being that the ~~language is~~ very old, and came from a shared proto-language, [[Proto-Ukilen]]. Most languages on [[Ukilen]] are related to [[Proto-Ukilen]], with few exceptions.

The Baphian dialects are unique in that they do not treat adjectives and nouns differently, as in nouns can be adjectives and adjectives can be nouns. for example; cëzhyu (/tɕə.ˈʑju/) can be used as 'the red one' or be used to describe something as red as in 'cëzhyumu mezye' (/tɕə.ˈʑju.ˈmu me.ˈzje/), red hair, or nemuk (/ne.ˈmuk/), stick, being used to describe something narrow or just a plain tree branch.

== 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.
