Kiput language

Kiput is a Malayo-Polynesian language primarily spoken by the Kiput people in northern Sarawak, Borneo, Malaysia.

While the Northern Sarawakan languages in general are known for unusual phonological developments (for example, Proto-North Sarawak becomes s in Kiput), Kiput stands out from the rest.[how?]

Kiput has eight monophthongs /i ɪ e u ʊ o ə a/, at least twelve diphthongs /iw ew uj oj əj əw aj aw iə̯ eə̯ uə̯ oə̯/ and two triphthongs /iə̯j iə̯w/.
