Tcalci

Vowels
NOTE: Subscripts means that it is not a distinct vowel. It is a variant of one of the 3 main vowels (/a/, /i/, and /u/)

Phonotactics
Tcalci has a syllable structure of (C)V(N), where C is any consonant, V is any vowel and any diphthong, and N is any consonant except for /h/. The vowels also must be either stressed or unstressed depending on the vowel length and phonemes around it.

Writing System
Geminating vowels will turn them into stressed vowels, geminating consonants will make their hold and release times at different syllables, and adding a "q" after a vowel will turn it into a long vowel

Nouns
Tcalci put morphosyntactic alignment on both nouns and verbs, unlike other languages. Nouns in Tcalci has 5 cases, each with its own suffix.

Legend: ø = No Suffix, [G] = Geminate last letter

Verbs
The morphosyntactic alignment is also added in verbs. This in turn, makes the inflections in verbs much more complicated.

Legend: ø = No Suffix, + = Add/Geminate last letter

Verb-like Adjectives
Unlike other languages, adjectives in Tcalci behave like verbs. They can act like intransitive verbs when they have a positive comparison and act like a comparative adjective if the object is singular and a superlative adjective if the object is plural.

Syntax
Sentences are made by simply concatenating strings of words to form a one, huge word. There are some exceptions to this rule: They also add an extra marker at the very end of each independent clause to tell what type of independent clause/sentence it is and its mood.
 * 1) Proper names are not concatenated and instead separated to the huge word. Usually this splits a sentence into 2 smaller but still huge words and a proper noun.
 * 2) Coordinating conjunctions that connect independent clauses must be separate like proper names.
 * 3) List-like noun phrases (noun phrases that have 3 or more nouns) splits each item of the list into separate words. The first and final items and connected to either of the huge words.
 * 4) * NOTE: Controversial issues are highlighted with italics.
 * 5) * Oxford commas are allowed required when you have 3 or more nouns in a list.

NOTE: Stressed vowels are denoted with their IPA Equivalent (So a stressed "i" will be displayed as an "e") while vowels with a ":" (Colon) are long vowels.
