==Phonology==
*Stops: '''p t c k q''' /p t tʂ~c k q/
*Fricatives: '''f þ s x h''' /f θ s ʂ~ɧ h/
*Resonants: '''m n l rr r w y''' /m n l r ɹ w j/
*Vowels: '''a e i u ë''' /ä e i u ə/
 
===Stress===
Proto-Corded Ware had no strong stress.
 
===Phonotactics===
Only slightly less restrictive than Tamil; more restrictive than Latin
 
Proto-CW often added enunciative vowels to words ending in consonants, so for example ''*isqal'' 'child (nom.)' often became ''*isqallë''.
 
==Grammar==
*SVO or SOV
*Both prefixing and suffixing
*cases and Suffixaufnahme; not Altaic
*stem changes in nouns (like Uralic)
*polypersonal verbs
*aspect rather than tense
*mood inflections for verbs
===Pronouns===
1st pers. *t, 2nd pers. *p
 
===Nouns===
Corded Ware had suffixes for noun cases; however there was no separate accusative case.
 
Plurals were often (usually?) marked by stem change.
 
Declension of ''*isqal'' = child
 
*nominative: ''isqal(lë)'', ''esqal(lë)''
*genitive: ''isqalef'', ''esqalef''
*locative
*adessive
*ablative
*allative
*instrumental
*comitative
*essive
*translative
*vocative
 
===Verbs===
Verbs had the following template:
object-STEM-aspect-subject-mood
 
====Aspects====
*''fanhu-t'' = 'I called' (perfective)
*''fanhu-rra-t'' = 'I often calls/used to call' (habitual)
*''fanhu-kë-t'' = 'I am/was calling' (progressive)
 
====Personal====
Subject:
*''tërrë-0-t'' = 'I stood'
*''tërrë-0-p'' = '2sg stood'
*''tërrë-0-0'' = '3sg stood'
*''tërrë-0-ntë'' = 'we stood'
*''tërrë-0-mpë'' = '2pl stood'
*''tërrë-0-lë'' = 'they stood'
Object (for transitives)
*''të-fanhu-0'' = '3sg called me'
*''pë-fanhu-0'' = '3sg called 2sg'
*''në-fanhu-0'' = '3sg called 3sg'
*''tul-fanhu-0'' = '3sg called us'
*''pul-fanhu-0'' = '3sg called 2pl'
*''nël-fanhu-0'' = '3sg called them'
