Alphabet

Camalic uses a native writing system called Camalabhadra. It's a Brahmic-style abugida with separate letters for unaspirated and aspirated consonants.

Grammar

Camalanàbha is an agglutinative, ergative, head-final language.

The three core cases are absolutive, ergative, dative, and genitive. Other morphological cases arise from a suffixed preposition on one of these three cases, and many more "case" markers exist that are not morphological cases (read: postpositions).
