How this language works — its word order, morphology, sounds and writing. This reference also grounds the AI Word Constructor.
Word order
Flexible, basically VSO (verb–subject–object); a single verb can be a whole sentence.
Morphology
Polysynthetic and agglutinative: words stack subject/object/possessive prefixes and absolutive, plural, reverential, locative and derivational suffixes onto roots, with noun incorporation.
Sounds (phonology)
Four vowels (a, e, i, o) with phonemic length; signature consonants tl /t͡ɬ/, tz /t͡s/ and the saltillo (glottal stop). Stress falls on the penultimate syllable.
Writing system
Latin alphabet. Classical/colonial spelling coexists with the modern INALI orthography (tl, tz, hu/cu, saltillo ‘).
