Vowels
All vowels have 6 tones, 3 for short vowels and 3 long vowels.

Phonotactics
(C)(l) VVLT,VST,VLT or VVLT, VST, VLT (R)

C=p, t, k, q, m, n, ń, f, z, s, x, j, r, h, c, ch, l, b.

R= m, n, ñ/ń, l.

Componds
In compound words, the phonology and orthography changes:


 * Fricatives and Africates, beside h, use the up glyph in initial position and the down glyph in all other cases (tlá+tsí->tlácí or tsítlá)
 * ń /ŋ/ becomes ñ /ɲ/ inwards
 * Fricatives + l can be pronounced as /ɬ/ inwards
 * plosives are voiced if it's between 2 short vowels (you can use b, d, g and ǵ).
 * If a neutral short vowel happens before another short vowel, both become a long tonal vowel (aá->â, aa->ā, aà->ä)
 * If two non-short vowels are together, a y or w is inserted in between. That depends if the first vowel is e, i (y) or o, u (w). A is kinda neutral, "short a" favors y and "long a" favors w, if the separation has happen before, the before consonant is used. (āwawā vs ayāya) (owuawi).

Pronous
Pronouns are extensively compounded to any word to convey it's case, person and number. (Like Láñee -> 1PLU.GEN-Language)

Descriptor
Descriptors has its own declentions.

The firts is if they have a nounal or a verbal role (beautiful rock vs the rock is beautiful)

A descriptor in a verbal role is used as a nucleus of a predicate, and its formed with the particle "Khlao" after the Descriptor and then conjugating the verb

Example: Thë Khlao -> Thëjlao -> [θêɬao]

In the two cases, to inflect the Descriptors is used a bunch of particles

Verbs
Verbs use a system of swappable adverbs too convey focus, mood and time.

For example, the present is "qu", in the verb "fê" is fêqu "see"

For mood, "ka" is the indicative and for mood, "to" is the perfect
