Sjowaázh is a non-configurational polysynthetic language with a complex verbal morphology.

{{PAGENAME}} forms a single dialect continuum and is otherwise an isolate, though some speculate that {{PAGENAME}} is related to the [[Quame languages]].

==External history==

It is primarily inspired by Navajo, Polish, and Hungarian. Sjowaázh is intended as the language of a Japan- and Britain-inspired country which is itself very different from Japanese or English. Sjowaázh has a posh register associated with the upper class, and that's where the similarities with English end.

==Diglossia==

Sjowaázh is strongly diglossic, with the diglossia influenced by social class. High Sjowaázh, the prestige variety, is a mixture of 'Onáp'aañ Sjowaázh and [[Sjowaázh/Classical|Classical Sjowaázh]] and is the standard language used in literature, formal writing, newsreading, public announcements. High Sjowaázh plays a similar role to the RP accent in British English: most native speakers of High Sjowaázh are people from highly educated and wealthy families. On the other end of the spectrum, the lower class speak local lects which are sometimes mutually unintelligible. High Sjowaázh is not a static entity; it is defined as whatever the Sjowaázh upper class speaks at the time.
