Several diacritics are used in the original script, and the romanization tries to match it with the following rules :


*So-called diphtongs, better described as approximant + vowel or vowel + approximant, are written with the help of a tilde diacritic between <i> and another vowel (to denote /j/) or <o> (or possibly <û>) and another vowel (to denote /w/). For example :

===Morphophonology===
===Morphophonology===
An epenthetic /i/ (between consonants) or an epenthetic /n/ (between vowels) can be insterted between the radical of a verb and its conjugation ending, if the pronunciation is otherwise deemed difficult.

<!-- How do the words in your language look? How do you derive words from others? Do you have cases? Are verbs inflected? Do nouns differ from adjectives? Do adjectives differ from verbs? Etc. -->
===Nouns===
===Adjectives===
===Adverbs===
===Verbs===
There are three verb groups, marked with different infinitive endings : the first group, ending in -ü ; the second group, ending in -ar ; and the third, ending in -ôr. Verbs are conjugated for tense, mood, and person. There are seven persons : 1SG, 2SG, 3SG, 1PL, 2PL, 3PL, and a 2POLITE person of politeness (used in both the singular and the plural). Verbs are conjugated by replacing the infinitive ending with a conjugated ending.


<!-- Here are some example subcategories:
There are five moods : indicative, absolute, imperative, conditional and subjunctive. Overall, the verbal system is similar to that of French, with some extra moods and tenses.
