All but one of Yacivatreiza's letters are pronounced exactly the same every time they are written, and that one is Ññ. Ññ is a 'special Nn' of sorts, and can represent either /ŋ/ or /ɲ/ depending on what it precedes. If it precedes y, it is pronounced /ɲ/, and it is pronounced /ŋ/ in any other case.

Stressing/Length of Vowels
The second-to-last syllable is usually the one stressed. However a macron can be added to most Yaci vowels, which increases their length slightly and, more importantly, makes them the stressed vowel of the word or a part of a word.

In the diphthongs ei, ai, and ou, the second letter is never stressed. For example, in the word Yacivatreiza, the e is stressed.

Phonotactics
Ññ can only precede consonants and approximants, and macrons cannot be added to consonants, approximants, or the vowels Jj, Œœ, and Øø.

Word Order and General Grammar
Word order is virtually free, but, for example, adjectives and/or adverbs, if placed after the noun, verb, or adjective/adverb described in a single phrase, must be placed after the noun, verb, or adjective/adverb throughout the sentence. Similarly, if verb subjects go before the verb and objects after in one phrase, said order must persist throughout the sentence. If one violates this rule they are still generally understood, but it will sound 'odd' to Yacivatreiza speakers.

Agglutination
Yacivatreiza is an extremely agglutinative language. Things that are percieved to be a unit are agglutinated together, separated by apostrophes, unless those form a separate 'thing'--sometimes a combination of several nouns or sometimes verbs takes on a different meaning entirely, and in that case, no apostrophes are used. For example, a noun (or multiple nouns) and its (or their) adjectives go together, a verb (or multiple verbs) and its (or their) adverbs go together, etc.

Parts of Speech
Yacivatreiza technically has no parts of speech, they are all integrated into nouns, verbs, and adjectives/adverbs.

Verbs
Verbs are conjugated by voice, mood, person, number, tense, and aspect.

Nouns
Nouns are declined by case, number, definiteness, and gender.

Cases
There are eleven cases:
 * 1) Genitive, to show that something is of something else, or something possesses something else.
 * 2) Ergative, to show that something is the subject of a verb.
 * 3) Accusative, to show that something is the object of a verb.
 * 4) Dative, to show that something is to or for something else.
 * 5) Vocative, to address someone.
 * 6) Sociative, to show that something is with something else.
 * 7) Comparative, to show that something is like something else.
 * 8) Ablative, to show that something is moving away from or out of something else.
 * 9) Lative, to show that something is moving to, into, under, or onto something else. An adjective clarifies which of those it is moving to.
 * 10) Essive, to show that something is something else. If the 'something else' is definite, then the essive case demonstrates a quality. If indefinite, then it demonstrates temporary being.
 * 11) Nominative, everything else.
