;Notes
*Voiceless plosives /p t k/ are lightly aspirated in syllable onsets but are unaspirated after /s/. They're always unaspirated in certain areas.
*[ŋ] occurs as an allophone of /n/ before velars /k, g/.
*/r/ is an alveolar trill [r] or tap [ɾ].
*/l/ is dental [l̪].
*[z] occurs as an allophone of /s/ in /sb, sd, sg/.
*/ʕ/ is either a radical plosive [ʡ] or a uvular nasal flap [ɴ̆]. The first realization is more common word-initially.
===Vowels===
{{PAGENAME}} had the following monophthongs:

The diphthongs are '''ai au ei eu iu oi ou ui'''.
===Stress===
Stress is word-initial, ignoring some unstressed prefixes such as pronominal object prefixes.
===Phonotactics===
====Some allowed clusters====
*R = resonant X = obstruent
*Clusters allowed word-initially are in '''bold'''.
=====Geminates=====
*''mm nn ll rr φφ tt kk ss θθ''
=====RR=====
*'''''mn mr''' nl nw lm ln lw rl rm rn rw '''wl wr'''''

==Orthography==
Alphabetical order: '''R D I A Ħ Φ L M G K B S V O J Ȝ Δ T N Θ E U'''
==Morphology==
:''Main article: [[Thensarian/Morphology]]''
==Syntax==
Like many of its descendants, Thensarian is almost completely head-initial (except for compounds).
===Constituent order===
===Noun phrase===
===Verb phrase===
===Sentence phrase===
===Dependent clauses===
''Sequences of tenses'' are important in Thensarian grammar. The mood of a verb sometimes serves the same functions of subordinating conjunctions in English such as ''if''. Sometimes it is erroneously said that Thensarian has no word for ''if''; conjunctions meaning "if" exist (''φīs'', etc.) but they are not mandatory.
==Example texts==
*Early Thensarian: ''Stamāber (-bris) glādōm gnowilatlom'' = The gods accepted the sacrifice.
*Primitive Tigol: ''Φēswrostamāber glāduom gnowilatlom''
