 ==Constructions==
-Modern Swuntsim is SVO in independent clauses and pro-drop:
-:'''''Chə'əcwev təSfətsivəσ.'''''
-:/χəˈʔəkʷev təsfəˈtsivəɬ/

-:NEG.PRES-3SG.AN-say Swuntsim-ADV
-:''He does not speak Swuntsim.''
-*The copula is ''go'' (inflected for tense).
-* There is no relativizer; verbs have relative forms.
-*The complementizer is ''ti'' (acc. tə + yi)
-Adpositions consist of approximately equal number of prepositions and postpositions. Unlike in Standard Average Talman, adpositions do not inflect.
-The constituent order is genitive-noun, noun-adjective, and noun-relative clause.

-:''sjgwətjes zde''
-:sj-gwətje-s s-de
