Llis Grammar
From UniLang Wiki
Actually there are only two parts of speech: nouns and particles. Nouns are written in capitals, particles with lowercase letters.
The description of a word always stands behind the word described.
Actions are expressed by putting a noun for the predicate between subject and a possible object. If the action is not in the present, its time is expressed by a special particle right after the subject.
Personal pronouns are single vowels, other particles (ex. demonstrative pronouns, prepositions) are single consonants. Nouns consist of one syllable beginning with a vowel.
Most words contain short vowels, as long vowels express the opposite.
Breaks are often inserted when a subordinate clause begins, or when the word order prohibits the next words to be inserted in the current position. These breaks separate words in the sense of a sequence of letters without blanks and phonetical pauses.
That's why a whole sentence can sometimes be translated with only one "word".
To limit the vocabulary, many expressions are described or marked as the opposite of another expression with a long vowel.
There is no distinction between singular and plural.
Another special thing in opposite to Indo-Europan languages is the formation of conjunctions.
While you say A and B in English, it is and A and B in this language.
This prevents ambiguities when there is something before the first and, which A and B describe.
If you want to describe both A and B, you have to start a new word. Otherwise the description would only be valid for B.
