Kabažat (𐬐𐬀𐬠𐬀𐬰𐬀𐬙) is a ŋation in northern Thasusa, established on 10 May 2026 by KsãndraArkonn.[1]
Language
The language of Kabažat is currently unnamed and has only basic phonology. It uses the Avestan alphabet as its writting system with a romanization - with variants with and without diacritics. Notice that the Avestan alphabet is written from right to left.
Phonology
Allophones are written under the letters in small text, separated by semicolons in case of multiple phonemes in a cell.

Rounded and long vowels are grouped together with their unrounded counterparts. The schwa has no rounded counterpart while the rounded counterpart of a is ɒ.
Gemination
When a consonant comes after a long vowel in a closed syllable, the consonant is geminated (no in the table) and the vowel is made short.
Labialization
When x ɣ or ħ comes before an unrounded vowel they become labialized.
Prelabialization of Vowels
Rounded and unrounded vowels in word initial positions become prelabialized if the previous word ends in an unvoiced consonant, and when at the begining of a sentence.
Rising and Dipthongisation of Long Vowels
When long vowels are in unstressed open syllables they rise (ə: a: > ɨ: ɛ:) and dipthongize (i: ɯ: > əi̯ əʊ̹; ʊ̹ is rounded but the diacritic here is tiny).
β-Fluid
β can:
- become v when more than 75% of vowels in a word it resides in are unrounded or it's word-initial or -final.
- become b when at least 25% of vowels in a word it resides in are rounded.
- remain β when none of the above apply.
The above does not apply when:
- it resides in proper native nouns or nativized nouns.
