Austman displays a large number of loanwords from Turkish, Arabic and Persian. The number is quite larger than other languages of Christian or formerly Christian subjects of the Ottoman Empire. This is hypothesised to be due to the rapid rise in social status of the Islamized Germans that came to comprise the foundational stock of the Austmans leading to increased contact with Turkish speaking officials and administrator, as well as the extremely strong religious divide between the Austmans and Germans prevoking an intentional "islamification" of the language.

The core of the language is Germanic, comprising approximately 50% of the total base vocabulary. Words of Arabic and Turko-Arabic origins make up an additional 30% of vocabulary, mostly found in words related to topics of Religion, Law, Government and Education. Turkish loanwords add up to 10% of the lexicon, being mostly used in military, religious, and administrative terms. 5% of words, primarily related to some agricultural and labor terms, are derived from a South Slavic stock, mostly from Slovene and Serbo-Croatian origin.

A percentage of Turkish loanwords are actually Persian loanwords, mostly related to fields such as medicine and science.
 
====Gender====
 
A curious feature of Austman has been the simplification of Old High German's gender system. Masculine and Neuter have collapsed into a single Masculine Gender.
 
====Case====
Austman has retained only three of the original 5 cases of Old High German, with accusative fusing with dative and instrumental, becoming the Oblique case.
 
The List of Cases is:
* Nominative Case, which is used to express the subject of a statement.
* Oblique Case, which expresses the object of a verb.
* Genitive Case, which expresses possession, measurement, or source.

Austman shows a slight collapse of High German's vowel inventory by way of unrounding of /y/ and /ø/ into /i/ and /e/. As well, stressed High German /e/ broke into /ie/, later /je/ which palatized proceeding consonants.

===Turkish Affricates and Rounded Vowels===
Due to the collapse of natural round vowels, the Turkish sounds of /y/ and /ø/ have become foreign sounds, and thus in loanwords are represented as /iu/ and /eʁ/ respectively. As well, the Turkish /d͡ʒ/ becomes /t͡s/ or rarely /t͡ʃ/ depending on age of loan and position within the word.
==Morphology==
===Nouns===
Austman nouns decline according to case and number, with the language possessing two grammatical Genders, 3 grammatical cases, and 2 levels of plurality.
