Flewtish is typologically agglutinative, using almost exclusively suffixal affixation to indicate number, tense, person and case. Flewtish is partially a [[w:Null-subject language|null-subject language]], depending on whether the subject can be implicitly indicated with certainty or not. Due to the [[w:Sprachbund|sprachbund effect]], Flewtish is an [[w:Subject–verb–object word order|SVO language]], but more archaic dialects are actually [[w:Subject–object-verb word order|SOV ones]]. It is a biscriptal language, using both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts to be written. An important aspect of the language is differentiating between labialized and non-labialized consonants (Referred in Flewtish as "rounded" and "unrounded") see eg. /ˈkʷa.θok/ "Warmth" and /ˈka.θok/ "Portability".

==Etymology and history==
==Etymology and history==
'''Flũtṽa''' is an evolution of Proto-Flewtish */ɸlitʰa/, meaning "Blooming" or "Saturated". The reason for this name is that the regions that Flewtish speakers settled were far more greener and developed than their previous homeland. Flewtish is possibly a [[w:Paleosiberian languages|Paleo-siberian]] language that through migration reached it's current territory. This can be further supported by similarities with the [[w:Yeniseian languages|Yeniseian]] languages, like being a tonal language and having vowel length distinction.

==Orthography==
==Orthography==
Flewtish officially is written with the Cyrillic script as law enforces it in Russia. However the language is biscriptal and hence, it uses both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts to be written. Following are both scripts for writing the language:
Flewtish is officially written with the Cyrillic script as law enforces it in Russia. However, up until the [[w:Soviet Union|Soviet Union's]] dissolution in 1991, the language was actually written with the Latin script, which was brought over by Viking sailors. The Latin script is used mostly online and education is done almost exclusively in the Cyrillic-based alphabet instead.

==Stress==
Flewtish is a tonal language and the first syllable of each word acquires a specific tone. There are three tones:
# The mild tone (Tonek midek) indicates that the pitch will rise in the first syllable and drop in the rest gradually.
# The rising tone (Tonek buhtajek) means the pitch will rise as the word is pronounced
# The falling tone (Tonek jebuhtajek) is the opposite of the rising one. Often however, it does not result in a falling pitch, but rather a longer vowel with the same pitch everywhere.
