The alphabet
The Noslanic alphabet is based on the ISO basic Latin alphabet, but the Noslanic alfabetë is composed of 35 letters, 26 consonants and 9 vowels. Modified vowels have a diaeresis on the top, and modified consonants have carons. ð and þ come from the Icelandic alphabet, they even represent the same phonemes. The letter Q is the only letter from the basic Latin alphabet that isn't included. All the phonemes are represented by one character, except /ŋ/.

The S rule
It usually takes place when adding suffixes to words, when combining nouns to form other words and when forming plurals.
 * When an S is added to an S, they become a Š. ss '→ 'š
 * When an S is added to a T, they become a C. ts '→ c
 * When an S is added to a C, they become a Č. cs '→ 'č

Plurals

 * The S rule takes place here. Example:
 * sens → senš (sense → senses)
 * hemt→ hemc (shirt → shirts)
 * salc → salč (salt → salts)
 * If the noun ends in any other letter, an s is added. Example: nebo → nébos (sky → skies)

Stress and accentuation
Noslanic words follow accentuation rules. They are the same for all words, no exceptions. Vowels with diaeresis (Ëë, Öö, Üü) would have a double acute accent (E̋e̋, Őő, Űű), not an accent over the diaeresis (Ë́ë́, Ö́ ö́, Ǘǘ).
 * The stress is on the last syllable if it ends in a consonant. Example: Azerbajǧan (Azerbaijan)
 * The stress is on the second-to-last syllable if it ends in a vowel. Example: patrë (father)
 * If the stress is somewhere else and the word doesn't follow the rules above, an acute accent is used to mark where the stress is. Example: psikóloga s  (psychology), húndë s  (dogs)

Word order
Noslanic is a SOV language. This means the basic word order is subject + object + verb. Example:

If the sentence is translated literally, it would be Maria books reads.
 *  Marja lívrësa čitre.
 *  Marja  reads books.

Possessives
Possessives are: A letter is added depending on the last vowel the possessed noun has. Example:
 * Mož - My
 * Tož - Your (singular)
 * Sož - His/Her
 * Nož - Our
 * Tojž - Your (plural)
 * Sojž - Their
 * Vož - Your (singular, informal)
 * Vojž - Your (plural, formal)
 * Može ljed. (My song)
 * Sojžy peý. (Their country)
 * Nojža ozjan. (Our ocean)

Positive

 * Smačnö bröð. (Tasty bread)
 * Grandë galaksjë. (Big galaxy)

 * Gröňje xerb. (Non-green grass)
 * Ewropajnje grédar. (Non-European citizen)
 * Originalnje tjel. (Unoriginal story) - The story is not "unoriginal", but "not original", the words for English adjectives like "unoriginal" do not exist in Noslanic.
