'''Rufian''' (''yg bbynt rufi'' {{IPA|[əŋ ˌβɵnt ˈɽyːɸi]}} or '''Kädd''' {{IPA|[ɕɛːð]}} (''yg bbynt kädd'' {{IPA|[əŋ ˌβɵnt ˈɕɛːð]}} ("the Kädd language")) is a language spoken by the Kädd people of [[Verse:Calémere|Calémere]]. The Kädd homelands are in Evandor and Nearest Márusúturon (the part of Márusúturon closest to Evandor) and include the semiarid basins of ''Rufisgen'' on the Evandor-Márusúturon border, to the west and to the east the Kädd Plain, the long valley centered on the Tären river (''ys märoig Tären'' in Kädd) and divided into the three countries of ''Tabbkwyrysroi'' (the upper and mid-upper course of the Tären), ''Sjakorroi'' (a short stretch of the middle Tären and neighboring areas), and ''Kysteynroi'' (almost coincident with the lower Tären valley). | '''Rufian''' (''yg bbynt rufi'' {{IPA|[əŋ ˌβɵnt ˈɽyːɸi]}} or '''Kädd''' {{IPA|[ɕɛːð]}} (''yg bbynt kädd'' {{IPA|[əŋ ˌβɵnt ˈɕɛːð]}} ("the Kädd language")) is a language spoken by the Kädd people of [[Verse:Calémere|Calémere]].

The length distinction is only phonemic in stressed, closed syllables with a single {{IPA|/m n t k s/}} as coda. Otherwise, length is predictable: all unstressed syllables have short vowels; stressed open syllables always have long vowels, while other closed syllables have short vowels with the exception of word-final stressed syllables with either one of {{IPA|/β ð/}} as coda, which have long vowels.<br/> | The length distinction is only phonemic in stressed, closed syllables with a single {{IPA|/m n t k s/}} as coda.

Exceptions are a few functional words, such as the inanimate definite article ''ys'': | Short vowels are represented by doubling the consonant letter.
