Morphology

Nyosangeyish is an analytic language, with verb tense and aspect being expressed with adverbs, and noun cases expressed with postpositions (which can become clitics, as in a=g "my" or ngedlo=f "at night".) The main exceptions to this are some derivational morphology, as well as verb mood, which is expressed with a suffix (fonşow-ec "accidentally see", akı céjug-u "smell that!"). Verb voice is also expressed with a suffix, which allows the speaker to modify word order.

Syntax

While normally SOV, Nyosangeyish can switch to OSV with the right verb suffix. Adjectives and adverbs come after the word they modify, but unusually for a head-initial language, adpositions are post- instead of pre-.
