==Morphology==
Ceticilian Cet's morphology is highly agglutinative, rendering smooth transitions between adjectives, nouns and verbs. Parts of speech may take on each other's role by affixation and word order.


==Morphology==
==Grammar==
<!-- 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. -->


<!-- Here are some example subcategories:
===Pronouns===
Because of polypersonal agreement in Cet, pronouns are seldom needed in written form.

==Syntax==
===Constituent order===
===Constituent order===
===Noun phrase===
The most basic word order of Ceticilian Cet is Subject-Predicate-Object. Unlike English, the word order remains in questions and most relative clauses. Pronouns may be omitted in both subject and object position, if permitted by redundancy in the predicate.
===Verb phrase===
 
===Sentence phrase===
===Cases===
===Dependent clauses===
Case endings marked in '''bold''' are required to replace the vowel of the root words with their own in case that word ends in a vowel sound.<br>
<!-- etc. etc. -->
Case endings with a () around a vowel may have that vowel omitted if easily pronounceable.

|-
| Perlative || '''-í''' || '''-ú''' || Through something, Via
|-
| Locative || -(e)n || -(o)n || In something, on something
|}
 
Most of these cases can also act as verbs by adding a personal pronoun suffix. For example: "I sit down" can be rendered as "síttë" (seat + to + 1st person singular).
 
===Tenses===
In their most basic form, the tenses of Ceticilian Cet are derived from noun cases regarding motion to and from. On top of the basic tenses there are a few grammatical aspects specifying how verbs act over time.

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
