Gibano

Classification and Dialects
Gibano (D̑CIϴCNϽ) is a language that is written using the Kibina Script. Gibano has a bunch of dialects, mostly differing in pronunciation and spelling. For this language, we will use the Standard form.

Consonants
NOTE: 1. [f], [v], and [z] are only used in words if they are loan words.

Vowels
NOTE: 1. [e] and [u] are only used in words if they are loan words.

Writing System
Gibano uses The Kibina Script. This script has 2 letters per sound. (most of the "letters" are digraphs) The first letter is the unstressed letter while the last one is the stressed letter. Unstressed vowel letters represents the sound itself, while the stressed version adds a glottal stop [ʔ] before the sound itself. Unstressed consonants means that it pairs with a vowel to the right. If the vowel is stuck between 2 consonants, like "Mad", it would be paired like (Ma)d. If there are multiple "Vowel sandwiches", like "Perplexing", it would be paired like (Pe)rp(le)(xi)ng. Any consonant that is unpaired would be written in its stressed form. Sometimes it could be tricky like 'al'aba (ȊCL̆ȊCϴC̆) being different to 'alaba (ȊCLCϴC̆). This is the main reason why dialects of Gibano are distinct in spelling and pronunciation.

Verbs
Each verb has its own base template. Base templates are templates with special areas to put the verb conjugations. Examples are: But what do those asterisks mean? Those are the places where the conjugations can be placed. If you are wondering, here are all of the conjugations:
 * eat - hako* - HCT̑Ͻ*
 * run - sima* - ØCIMC*
 * kick - majo* - MCDØ̑Ͻ*
 * catch - naqami* - NCTϴCMCI*
 * dodge - dojema* - DϽDØ̑KIMC*
 * hit - itaha* - CȊTCHC*
 * is/are/am - i* - CȊ*

Syntax
The word order is pretty flexible between SVO and OVS because verb conjugations tell the listener what is the word order. For example:
 * The ball hit the ground. - Ka silamo itahagasa ka bila. - T̑C ØCILCMϽ CȊTCHCD̑CØC T̑C ϴCILC.
 * The ground is hit by the ball. - Ka silamo itahagosa ka bila. - T̑C ØCILCMϽ CȊTCHCD̑ϽØC T̑C ϴCILC.
 * The ball hit the ground. - Ka bila itahagosa ka silamo. - T̑C ϴCILC CȊTCHCD̑ϽØC T̑CØCILCMϽ.
 * The ground is hit by the ball. - Ka bila itahagasa ka silamo. - T̑C ϴCILC CȊTCHCD̑CØC T̑CØCILCMϽ.
