'''Ahāmatya''' is a relatively conservative language. Loan words have found their way into '''Vrjāmatya''', but are mostly deliberately avoided in '''Ahāmatya'''. If one were to use a non-native word, then one would do so either indirectly via some periphrastic construction, or by simply employing the nearest approximation available in the language. | '''Ahāmatya''' is a relatively conservative language.

'''Ahāmatya''' is typologically a synthetic, fusional language. Nouns and modifiers are inflected for number and case. Other modifiers, such as adverbs, are not inflected in the same way, though similarities may be found in certain contexts. Nouns exhibit a class distinction determined by the phonology. Verbs are inflected for aspect, time, valency, and mood. Some particles are inflected for number and case. '''Ahāmatya''' is a Nominative-Accusative aligned language, and has relatively free word order because of its case-marking, though word order tends towards S-O-V. | '''Ahāmatya''' is typologically a synthetic, fusional language.
