Shiber is the tongue of Benshira Humans, a desert dwelling race in Eyktol, found primarily in Yahebah (City of God). The written form of Shiber is fully developed with an alphabet system as opposed to pictographic.

History

Basics

Sounds

Shiber is a somewhat slurred sounding language with an innate rhythm. Outsiders note the common use of the "Sh", "Ah", "El" and "Y" sound. Consonants are often paired for unique almost glottal sounds. While the language seems rushed when spoken, it has an startling beauty and liveliness when sung.
