'''Qwbmwdqwg''' /ʔə˥mə˨˩˨ʔə˧˩̤/ is a tritonal root language.
 
== Phonology ==
* vowels: {{angbr|''w oo''}} /ə ã/

The -0 tone only occurs in function words and affixes.

Some roots are bitonal:
* ''qw'''x'''kw'''j''''' 'to stand'
* ''qw'''s'''kw'''s''''' 'to go, to walk'
* ''qw'''b'''kw'''x''''' 'to fly'

== Syntax ==
=== Word order ===
Stolen from Lushootseed: predicate-first clauses and determiner-based noun phrases
 
=== Noun phrases ===
Noun phrases acting as constituents rather than as predicates need the determiner ''qw'':
 
: Compare:
:''Qw'''d'''kw'''l'''qw'''b''' qw qw'''b'''mw'''d'''qw'''g'''.''
: Qwbmwdqwg is easy.
:''Qw'''b'''mw'''d'''qw'''g''' kwt. Qoo Kwskwskwskws kwt.''
: This is Qwbmwdqwg. And this is Quququqquq.
 
=== Emphasis ===
The emphatic pronoun is ''koo'' in all persons and numbers. It serves the same role as Irish emphatic forms.
 
* ''qoo'''s'''mw'''s''''' 'I go'
* ''qoo'''s'''mw'''s''' koo'' / ''koo qoo'''s'''mw'''s''''' '<i>I</i> go'
