==Morphology==
Tipologically speaking, Qihep is an '''''isolating''''' language, that means its words never change nor add any additional ending to show number, gender, tense, aspect, etc.
''We followed those men'': '''Ul la nār vran ta śak fa'''
Analysing the sentence:
* '''Ul''': means ''I''
* '''la''': it's a grammatical particle which shows the idea of ''plural''
* '''nār''': means ''that''
* '''vran''': means ''man''
* '''ta''': it's a grammatical particle, conveying the idea of ''past''
* '''śak''': means ''follow''
* '''fa''': it's a grammatical particle, conveying the idea of ''action complete''

Note:

  • [ʔ]1is not recognised as an independent phoneme but it is inserted between two vowels, or between two identical consonants.
  • [ɱ]2 and [ŋ]3 are considered allophones of the normal nasal phonemes in front of [f]/[v] and [k]/[g]/[kʷ] respectively.

Every vowel can be distinctively short and long.

No dipthongs are allowed. If two vowel are adiacent in a compound word, a glottal stop ([ʔ]) emerges to keep them separated.
