Qupata

General information
Qupata, also known as Kupat [ˈqu.pat], is the sacred language of the Qupasan tribe, inhabiting the land borders of the Taiwanese peninsula and also some parts of the Philippines. It is an agglutinative language which uses Austronesian alignment, four noun classes and aspect-trigger-voice-mood relations.

Inspiration
When I made that language, it was inspired by these language families:


 * Austronesian (e.g. Indonesian, Tagalog, Paiwan)
 * Austroasiatic (e.g. Vietnamese, Nicobarese languages)
 * Bantu (e.g. Swahili, Zulu, Xitsonga)
 * Tibeto-Burman (e.g. Tibetan, Burmese)
 * Tai-Kaidai (e.g. Thai, Lao, Khmer)
 * Koreanic (Jeju, Korean)

The Qupasan tribe
The word 'Qupata' is derived from the Tagalog word 'gubat', meaning forest. The tribe of the people (which are called Qupasan), mostly live in forests or taigas. The Qupasan tribe were found in 1746 in Taiwan, when a sudden shortage of food changed some of the people's lives.

Until the death of Sapid
In ancient times, in the poor areas of Taiwan, there lived a village called Huebuk (Taiwanese: 火木 hué bák), where famines, contracts and inequalities are flourished. However, one day came the birth of the Janitor (kawas-et), where he made the first boy made into existence, in which he is named Sapid. Time passed, and the boy immediately grew up from child to manhood, who developed his life to farming (mainly pigs (vavuyak)). One day, in a terrible storm, the devil (musma) tried to trick him into death. Sapid then finally became the governor of the Qupasan wars. Realising that the laws were contracted and unequal, he asked for the Helper (mupa tu) to give the involuntary and fixed laws and forces. The Helper than gave him a drift of pigs, in which the involuntary forces deliberately broke away from the winning of Malaysia. The Huebuk was finally bombed and deported.

The age of freedom
Finally, freed from the yoke of their masters, they found themselves a new refuge - a tropical island, spread around the Great Lake in the eastern part of Taiwan. Despite the short description, these events lasted for about seven months.
