Historically, Kava spoke a dialect of [[Paleo-Pabappa]]. This was sometimes erroneously considered a Subumpamese language because of its location.  However, a different group of immigrants in the same area calling itself [[FILTER]] did indeed speak Subumpamese.
 
==Grammar==
Kava was isolated from the [[Gold language]] for most of its history, and therefore took most of its influence from the grammatically dissilimar [[Old Andanese]] language.  This caused Kava to develop a very simple grammar, losing most of the Subumpamese suffixes, while gaining no new prefixes or infixes  from Andanese.  A new part of speech called an ''auxiliary verb'' or ''weak verb'' appeared, which carried the meaning of inflections and behaved like verbs except that they did not carry the classifier prefixes that  full verbs did.
 
Some auxiliary verbs were derived from the Tapilula particles
#'''ŋò''' with; next to; near
#'''tò''' similar; to agree
#'''ŋà''' on top of
#'''hì''' member, dependent; underneath
#'''kè''' covering; standing over
#'''mə̀''' overlapping; in front of
#'''gà''' in front of
#'''hà''' to be changed by
#'''hù''' to capture, get
#'''hʷò''' to see beauty, to cover
#'''nə̀''' moving

#'''tà''' to push on
#'''là''' to pull on; to focus on, see clearly
