			Nouns have two different numbers, dual and plural. Use of the dual is optional, although it has persisted in several archaic expressions, e.g. "lijusti" (the suns) and "eskiai" (breasts, on a single person).

			The dual number is formed by adding the suffix -i to a noun. If the noun is governed by cases, the suffix comes after the suffixes for the cases in question. When the suffix comes after a consonant, it morphs into -ti.

			The plural number is formed by adding the suffix -t to a noun. If the noun is governed by cases, the suffix comes after the suffixes for the cases in question. If the suffix comes after a /t/, it morphs into -te.

			Grammatical cases are added to the end of a noun and reflect the situation that one is in. It is possible to use multiple cases on a single noun, but those cases cannot be of the same class (i.e. grammatical, essive, marginal). In cases where the suffix used for a case contains a vowel that is subject to vowel harmonization, this vowel will reflect the roundedness or unroundedness of the words it is attached to.

			There are five different classes of nouns: rounded open, unrounded open, rounded closed, unrounded closed, neutral open and neutral closed. Open syllables are syllables that end on vowels, whilst closed syllables end on consonants; rounded and unrounded focuses on the vowels in the word, whereby neutral words only have the neutral letters /e/ and /i/.

	=====Consonant clusters=====		=====Consonant clusters=====
			Though theoretically in Colloquial Jalaia all consonant combinations are possible, it retains the Official Jalaia's allowable consonant clusters by omitting the consonants that would make an otherwise possible consonant cluster impossible. Five-consonant clusters in Colloquial Jalaia can only exist of two consonant clusters allowed by Official Jalaia, of which one must consist of two consonants and the other of three consonants.

			Consonant clusters that can be used at the beginning of a syllable are as follows: /kl/, /kr/, /mn/, /mr/, /nm/, /pl/, /pn/, /pr/, /pt/, /sk/, /sl/, /sm/, /sn/, /sp/, /st/, /sv/ and /tr/. Consonant clusters that can be used at the end of a syllable are as follows: '''/hk/''', '''/hp/''', '''/ht/''', /ks/, '''/kst/''', /lk/, '''/lks/''', /ls/, '''/lst/''', /lt/, /ms/, '''/mst/''', /mt/, /ns/, '''/nst/''', /nt/, /ps/, '''/pst/''', /pt/, /rn/, '''/rnt/''', /sk/, '''/skt''', /sp/, '''/spt/''', /st/ and /ts/. Letters in '''bold''' cannot be used in the final two syllables of a verb (see Verbs).
