Qote tos Dolriades (litterally "language of the Dolriads"), or isiDolriades, is the language of the Dolriades living in the world of Farandosÿa.

Phonology
The alphabet is as follows: The corresponding IPA table is: The three clicks c, x and q correspond to Ancient Greek θ (th), χ (kh), and κλ/γλ (kl/gl) respectively. Thus, calata (from Θάλασσα, the sea), xiro (from χείρ, hand) and qote (from γλῶττα, tongue).

Substantives & Articles
There is no gender. Nouns are declined according to case and number. The definite article is needed to represent the case, while the plural is indicated by a -s after the noun. The following table shows the inflection of the substantive antu ("living being", "person"): To is the definite article "the", yet it can be used in any context to show the role of the following noun. Compare: It can be omitted, yet is needed to clarify when confusion is possible.

Noun classes
There are, as in Zulu, some classes, yet they are less extensively used and mainly serve distinctive purposes. These prefixes are facultative (as are the articles), and only used to distinguish (e.g. umuwantu - ubuwantu). Thus:

Adjectives
The adjectives are declined exactly as the nouns. They precede it, go between the noun and the article if there is any, and the ending of the adjective is always identical to that of the noun it goes along with. Thus:

Toi melata kuwon "to the black dog", tos melatas kuwones "of the black dogs", etc.

Verbs
An example with the verb file ("like"): Negative verbs are built by adding a- in front of them and transforming the last letter to -i at the end of them. Thus, ngifile ("I like") --> angifili ("I don't like").

Prepositions
All prepositions demand dative.

Adverbs
Adverbs are formed by adding a -te to an adjective.

Syntax
Qote is SVO, i.e. Subject-Verb-Object.
