In Belter, questions are formed by adding ''ke'' at the end of a statement, e.g. ''Tu showxa lang belta''(You speak Belter) and ''Tu showxa lang belta, ke?''(Do you speak Belter?). Additionally, ''keyá'' means "isn't it", so if one wanted to say "You speak Belter, right?" it would be ''Tu showxa lang belta, keyá?'' | |||

Belter uses a '''SVO'''(subject-verb-object) sentence structure, e.g. ''Tu showxa lang belta''(You speak Belter). In that sentence, ''Tu'' is the subject, ''showxa'' is the verb, and ''lang belta'' is the object. | |||
