Phipul (P'ipur') is a minority language spoken in the western tip of the Baranxtuan province of Abasina.
Its relationship to other native languages remains unclear, although an albeit very distant link to Akes Mersanint has been proposed by linguists as being very likely.
Phipul is remarkable as having the largest sound inventory of all languages spoken in Baranxtu. It also has a unique script that was developed entirely independent from the various scripts used to write Akes Mersanint or its descendants.
