Allophony
Phonemes in parenthesis are non-standard, but tend to occur as allophones. Allphones occur as such:

Phonotactics

 * Basic syllable structure is (C)(C)V(C).
 * Onset clusters follow this hierarchy: plosives -> fricatives -> nasals -> approximates; consonants can be followed by lower-order consonants but not higher-order consonants.
 * Plosives are only allowed in the onset.
 * In a plosive-nasal cluster, the nasal must match the plosive's place of articulation.

Grammar and Syntax
Bujem is an analytic language with semantic agglutination...

Nouns
Nouns are preceded by a preposition for case which can be suffixed for defininteness.

Bujem has eight core cases: Case postpositions are made definite using the suffix -s, so ha becomes has, nu becomes nus, etc.

Verbs
Verbs are arranged in separate clusters where each verb is set between a mandatory preposition for tense and an optional postposition for aspect.

Verbs take one of seven tenses: Three regular tenses, one potential tense and three hypothetical tenses.

Verbs can also take one of four special aspects, with imperfect being the default, unmarked aspect.

Syntax
Syntax is used to indicate the mood of the sentence, including transitivity.   NOTE: Imperative sentences are often started with the addressee in the vocative case.
