Phonotactics
CV, CVC, CCV, CCVC, SCCV & SCCVC, but not VC. (S being any sibulant)

Affricates, voiced plosives & glottals are not clusterable, nor do the appear in the final position. This is with the exception of "tc" witch can appear in the final position.

A sibulant can be before a fricative, plosive, or approximant.

An unvoiced plosive cannot follow a voiced sibulant nor can a voiced plosive follow an unvoiced sibulant.

Plosive & fricatives can be before a flap, including the lateral flap.

Nouns
Nouns have three cases, Ergative, Accusative, & Absolutive. Much like Romance languages, articles, determiners & numbers decline to match.

Pronouns
00 Person = noone / nobody

0 Person = one

1 Person = I / me / we / us

1.5 Person = we but not I

1 Person Exlusive = we but not you

1 Person Inclusive = we and you

2 Person Exclusive = (the one) you and not the rest

2 Person Inclusive = you (singular or plural)

3 Person = he / him / her / she / it

4 Person = anybody / everybody

Verbs
Much like Japanese, there are no real adjectives. Instead verbs are used. Verbs do also have gerund forms, & those forms decline like any noun would. Verbs also conjugate to tense & transitivity.

Syntax
Adpositions go in between the subject phase & the object phase.

Much like Arabic, articles are frequently used. Even proper nouns use them.

Much like Japanese, Zvretulin is a Verb final language. This rule is only broken when making questions.

To form a question, put the word "x" at the end of a sentence. This is the only word in the whole language that uses a click.
