Phonotactics
All syllables are of the form CV, where C can be an affricate.

Tone
There are three contour tones, a rising tone, a falling tone, and a flat tone. Instead of tones being represented by specific graphemes, they exist as modifications of the shape of a syllable block (see Syllable Block section).

Writing System
The writing system is featural. Voicedness of any given consonant is indicated by the middle-bar - so, the voiced equivalent of /p/ Г is the letter /b/ F. Letters are written starting from the left.

Diacritics
The three diacritics used for tone are: The acute accent, for the rising tone; the grave accent, for the falling tone; and nothing, for the flat tone. Examples:

[ŋ̊ə˧˥] - ƆÓ

[ŋ̊ə˧] - ƆO

[ŋ̊ə˧˩] - ƆÒ

Grammar
The word-order is SOV, and the subject, object and verb parts of a sentence are determined by location. Each part is consisted of a single word, and as the language is highly agglutinative, words can be very long indeed if there is enough to say about them.

Some examples of sentence structure:

Subject object verb

Adjective-subjective adjective-object adverb-verb

[sentence] conjunction [sentence]

Participles exist where adjective clauses otherwise would. For example, instead of saying the equivalent of "The noun which verbed", we say "the verbing noun".

Lexicon
The lexicon is composed of a relatively small number of simple words containing one morpheme each, and each word being composed of one syllable.
