=Basic Grammar= The [Rules of Setowu grammar http://setowu.wikia.com/wiki/Rules] involves only a few basic principles of sentence construction.

=Dictionary= The overall [Setowu dictionary http://setowu.wikia.com/wiki/Setowu_dictionary] contains 1161 words. Other words can be formed by making compound words via the use of a hyphen.

=Script= Setowu has its own [script http://setowu.wikia.com/wiki/Alphabet], which uses Unicode characters.
