Phonology
Consonants

Phonotactics
Syllables follow the pattern (C1)(C2)V(C3)(C4).

C1 can be any consonant if there is lack of a C2.

The possible initial syllable clusters (C1 C2) are /zd/, /ts/, /sk/ or any consonant except /w/, /r/, /l/, /j/, /ɲ/, //, followed by /w/, /r/, /l/.

V is any vowel or diphthong the most common dipthongs are /aɪ/, /au/ and /ɔɪ/.

C3 can be any consonant except for /ɲ/, /h/, /w/, /j/ and if there is lack of a C4.

The possible final syllable clusters (C3 C4) are /nt/, /lg/, /lk/, /st/, /r n/. (There's a space cause it looked like an m)

Writing System C and q are alternative forms of k. C is generally used instead of k in /lk/, (don't yell at me k is ugly, and the word for cave (élc) would have looked like elk, and look at how much better lc looks than lk, l and k are to similar it just looks bad).

When a consonant precedes a w, the w is pronounced as /w/, An ' is inserted between the consonant and the w, to make the w pronounced as /u/.

Nouns
Nouns decline according to case, number, and definiteness. Here is the declension of book:

When a noun ending in á is declined, á is dropped and the suffix is added (Shown above).

When a noun ending in ú followed by a consonant is declined, the ú becomes á if the suffix starts with a vowel (Shown below is the declension of table).

Mass Nouns
Mass nouns behave exactly like normal nouns do except they are always in singular form.

Verbs
The infinitive form of a verb is formed by adding the suffix -pa. The standard negative form of verb can be achieved by adding the prefix zo-.

Here is the conjugation of bring:

Participles and Gerund
The participle of a verb can be formed by adding the suffix: -úna to the present tense form of the verb.

Verbs can be used as nouns by adding the gerund suffix: -ír to the present tense form of the verb. For example the verb wífolc (close) can be nominalized to wífolcír (door).

Copula
There is a zero-copula system: the copula can be excluded as long as it is present tense indicative; the copula is needed for all other conjugations.

These conjugations are as follows including the present tense indicative:

Example of zero-copula: Coco wilámel. (Coco is at the table.)

While "Coco  wil á m el ki." means the same thing and is perfectly valid, but speakers tend to eliminate the copula, although not using zero-copula is often used to emphasis a statement, and is used in formal language.

Adjuncts
There are adjectives and adverbs. Adjectives follow the noun they describe. Adverbs that describe adjectives go infront of the adjective but behind the noun.

Syntax
The head-direction is final. The general word order is SOV. However case allows for some variation. Determiners such as numbers follow the noun, adjectives also following the noun, and adverbs that are effecting adjectives precede them, going between them and the noun. If there are adjectives, adverbs and numbers, numbers precede adverbs and adverbs precede adjectives. If there is any kind of possesion, in particular genitive the genitive noun precedes numbers, adverbs and adjectives. Relative clauses are placed after all of the modifiers of a noun and marked with 'tlúná'. Postpositional phrases can be formed using nouns, the adposition is placed after all of the modifers and before any relative clauses.
