Clofabosin is an agglutinative, fusional-ish language with a consistently head-final grammar. Modern Standard Clofabosin is the most prominent language in the Clofabic dialect continuum, which also includes the closely related [[Asvasirasin]] language. Clofabosin is the official language of [[Verse:Tricin/Clofabolocin|Clofabolocin]] ('Clofabian land') and [[Verse:Tricin/Dodellia|Dodellia]] (Clofabosin: ''dodellocridan'') in [[Verse:Tricin/Etalocin|Etalocin]].

The subjunctive is used like the infinitive and imperative in other languages (e.g. ''stilocamab!'' 'Sing!'). It can also be used to indicate uncertainty, like "may" or "might".


Yes-no questions are formed by adding the question particle ''pegol'' to the subjunctive: ''zenazumab pegol?'' (Did he go?). In spoken Clofabosin ''-mab pegol'' is often shortened to ''-mapel'' or ''-pel''. Wh-questions do ''not'' use this ending: ''cesin gliserotin(avir)?'' = What language is this?
