More essentialism:

Kalini Sapak is essentially Arab spoken by a Swede who doesn't know Arab.

                                                      Andreas

PS _Kalini Sapuk ginda Irba Sapak, lik Sawud, wa nayn-lusawu Irba Sapak,
supaku sa._ "The Langauge of the Clans is basically the Arab Language, as a
Swede, who doesn't know the Arab Language, speaks it." Irba is a perfectly
normal adjective fromation if "Arab" as a noun is adapted as a (slighly odd)
accusative _Arab_, accusative being the lexical case in Kalini Sapak.
_Sawad_, nominative _Sawud_ is simple the consonants of "Swede" treated as a
Kalini Sapak triconsonantal root - I chose not to use the Swedish from
_svensk_ because it's got a couple consonants too many! Pronunciation is
largely as you'd expect, but note _Sawud_ ['sQwUd] and _nayn-lusawu_
[ne:n'lusQwU].
