Shibanese is eloquent and elegant, just as the people who made it and the kingdom it came from.

Geographical Distribution
The Shibanese people speak today is believed to have originated in the south eastern wetlands of Shiban. It had started out as a small, isolated language only in Shiban back when the kingdom was very reserved. Then Shiban started to become more and more needed in the trading business as the kingdom grew. In modern times, Shibanese is the second most spoken language, just after Aethan (English) and can be found all over the Terrath.
Phonology
"Tsu" is pronounced like the name "Sue"
"Wa" is pronounced like "Whu-ah" (a soft "w" sound, as in "what")
The "o" is silent always except at the end of a word
Any letter (or sound) before "o" is exaggerated except when "o" is at the end of a word
Morphology
Shibanese is a very agglutinative language. Suffixes tend to modify a verbs tense and whether a noun is plural or singular.
Suffixes:
-no: present tense
-Ba: past tense
-Du: future tense
-Kagi: plural
-Togi: Singular
Prefixes added to improper nouns to tell if it is first, second, or third person (the noun is never implied).
-Ie: first person
-Gi: second person
-Ri: third person
Gender isn't used in shibanese. Words like she, he, her, etc, doesn't exist and neither does any other form of gender forms.
Syntax
Shibanese usually has a VSO (Verb, Subject, Object) word order.
