Syllable structure is (C)(H)V(C) where C=Any consonant V=[a,i,o,u] and H=Sonorants. Consecutive sonorats and stop clusters are permitted.

Grammar
Proto-Umandian is extremely analytic, even isolating and things indicated by suffixes in most languages are indicated through word order, particles, postpositions and auxiliaries.

Nouns
Nouns in Proto-Umandian aren't directly marked to indicated case,definiteness and/or number instead cases are indicate by particles and postpositions and these are always inflect for the number of the preceding noun.

The main particles, their primary roles and their inflections are: Absolutive: Marks Subjects of both transitive and intransitive sentences in the present and future,but the object of a transitive verb and the subject of an intransitive verb in the past tense.

Ergative: Marks subjects of transitive verbs in the past tense

Accusitive: Marks objects of transitive verbs in the present and future.

Genitive: Indicates the possessor/owner of a noun.

Many of these have secondary functions as well.
