It is an agglutinative, fusional-ish head-final [[Clofabic languages|Clofabic]] language. Like other Clofabic languages, it is a descendant of [[Tamil]]. Clofabosin is the official language of [[Verse:Tricin/Clofabolocin|Clofabolocin]] ('Clofabian land') in eastern [[Verse:Tricin/Etalocin|Etalocin]]. [[Dodellian]] has exerted a strong influence on Clofabian vocabulary and grammar, and Dodellian-derived words and suffixes are commonly used, especially in high-register language.

Clofabosin is an agglutinative, fusional-ish language with a consistently head-final grammar. It is the most prominent language in the Clofabic dialect continuum, which also includes the closely related Asvasiran language. Clofabosin is the official language of [[Verse:Tricin/Clofabolocin|Clofabolocin]] ('Clofabian land') and [[Verse:Tricin/Dodellia|Dodellia]] (Clofabosin: ''dodellocridan'') in [[Verse:Tricin/Etalocin|Etalocin]].

Clofabosin uses the [[Tamil]] script, a case-less LTR alphabet, but speakers write in a style of cursive handwriting, often known as "the Clofabian script" to outsiders. It is derived from the ancient [[Tamil]] script.
Clofabosin uses a script known as ''ativasabatin'' in Clofabosin, a case-less LTR alphabet, but speakers write in a style of cursive handwriting. It was invented by the lexicographer and poet Ativan Tdap.
 
The full letter name is used for declining, and the short form (omit the parenthesized part) is used for spelling out words. The alphabetical order is as follows:

==Phonology==
==Phonology==  
Clofabian phonology is remarkably simple, with only 14 consonants and 5 vowels in the most common analysis.  
Clofabosin has a small phonemic inventory of 14 consonants and 5 vowels.
===Stress===
=== Suprasegmentals ===
Stress is always word-initial, as in Finnish.
Stress is weak and word-initial. The pitch rises from the first syllable of a word to the second syllable, as in Tamil; the overall intonation of Standard Clofabosin is Tamil-like.

Clofabian nouns can take one of many case clitics, which are not true suffixes. Suffixes for "cases" other than the nominative and the accusative are attached to the combining form of the noun. Plurals are marked with ''-(a)zin'', ''-(a)z(o)-'' (e.g. ''amp·in'' person, ''ampazin'' 'people'; ''acti·n'' 'day', ''actizin'' 'days'); pluralization is usually reserved for animates, and are never used with numbers or quantifiers.
