 * plural is the default number

Consonants
/n/ 

/p t c k kʲ kʷ kʷʲ q qʷ/ 

/b d ɟ g gʲ gʷ gʷʲ/ 

/p' t' c' k' kʲ' kʷ' kʷʲ' q' qʷ'/ 

/pʰ tʰ cʰ kʰ kʰʲ kʰʷ qʰ qʰʷ/ 

/s sʲ ʃ ɕ x ç/ 

/ts tsʲ tʃ tɕ/ 

/ts' tsʲ' tʃ' tɕ'/ 

Harmony
Quxnaṣ has consonant harmony, based on palatalization. A word may have only "hard" (non-palatalized) or "soft" (palatalized) consonants.

The hard and corresponding consonants are presented in a table below:

The ejective counterparts of those consonants have the same soft equivalents, and the consonants /n p b q/ are neutral.

Vowels
/i e ə/ 

/u o ɯ a/ 

/iˀ eˀ/ 

/uˀ oˀ ɯˀ aˀ/ 

Non-glottalized vowels distinguish length, which is only used in forming a singular number. Long vowels are indicated by adding : after a vowel:  for /a: e: i: o: u: ɯ:/ respectively. /ə/ can only be short.

Some of the vowels also distinguish roundedness, working basically the same as the hard/soft distinction in consonants.

Other vowels are neutral.

Allophony
(To be done)

Grammar
The grammar of Quxnaṣ is polysynthetic and agglutinative.

Nouns
So we begin with nouns since there aren't really any pronouns, only pronominal suffixes.

The nouns in Quxnaṣ (are fairly simple and) inflect for:
 * 1) Derivations/compounding roots (a noun may have any number of them)
 * 2) Class (agrees with the derivation if it modifies the class)
 * 3) Number
 * 4) Proximity (includes a "visibility" distinction)
 * 5) Possession

The example for noun declension will be a fully declined form of *q'a-s-q- "swamp" - q'a-s-q-bü-t'ka
