Kabean

Background
Kabean, alongside with Meula and Delisean, are three indigenous languages spoken somewhere in Spain, derived from Delta-Mevevta. Their people, once isolated, were found in three different villages around Spain.

Vowels
Vowels can be long or short. Long vowels are spelled as two.

Phonotactics
Velars and labio-dental are palatized before front vowels, even the /a/ allophone [ε]: kel [kʲe̞ɫ]

Alveolar consonants geminate before a plural -t. for some speakers, it may become a syllable lengthening the previous vowel: vistas → vistast [vʲistäs:t] ~ [vʲistä:s̩t]

The /l/ is heavily velarized before back and central vowels, or intervocalically when any of the vowels is not front: kunal [kunεɫ], ybtule [ɨbtuɫə]

/a/ is pronounced [ε] before a velar fricative or dark l: kalyi [kʲεɫˠɨj], pkaxt [pkʲεxt]

Nouns
Nouns do not decline by case, but by number. The plural is highly irregular, and will be shown for every word in the dictionary.

Adjectives
Adjectives agree to their nouns in number and go before them. An adjective can be made from a noun or even a verb by adding -te

Adverbs
Adverbs are placed before the verb. Most are identical to their singular adjective.

Verbs
Verbs agree to person, number (only for first person) and mood. Unlike Meula and similar to Delisean, there is no infinitive. The tenses and a passive voice are made with particles.

Syntax
There word order is SVO for third person, but usually VSO otherwise. Kabean is a semi pro-drop language. First person pronouns are usually dropped, unless when emphatic.
