I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.

==Introduction==
 
<!-- Design goals, inspiration, ideas, who speaks it?, when was it created?, where does it come from?, any peculiarities? -->
 
<!-- Example categories/headings:
 
Goals
Setting

<!-- ***Phonology*** -->
<!-- What sounds does your language use? -->
<!-- Here are some example sub-/other categories:

==Phonology==
===Orthography===
===Consonants===
 
===Vowels===
===Prosody===
====Stress====
====Intonation====

==Morphology==
===Nouns===
Nouns have 9 cases: nominative, genitive, accusative, dechticaetiative/instrumental, locative, comitative, essive, adverbial and vocative.
 
===Verbs===
The present, past and future tenses are ''be-'', ''ki-'' and ''sa-'' respectively.
 
Verbs do not inflect for person but they do inflect for number: the plural suffix is ''-eba''.
 
The negative suffix is ''-tso'', and when fused with the plural it becomes ''-tsoba''.
 
Participial forms are used in the perfect and progressive tenses.
 
==Syntax==
===Constituent order===
 
Tsrovesh sentence structure is VSO and head-final, except for complementizer phrases and prepositional phrases.
 
===Noun phrase===
 
The adjective comes before the noun in Tsrovesh:
 
''udvanit ertma'' = happy spider
 
(udvanit = happy, ertma = spider)
 
But relative clauses are placed after the noun:
 
''ertma, li-vel ha-shmer kikhaven'' = spider who the man killed
 
===Verb phrase===
 
Tsrovesh is not zero-copula.
 
===Sentence phrase===
===Dependent clauses===
<!-- etc. etc. -->
==Numbers==
azar, kin, tvagi, lutsmi, chorti, mevti, ushkni, voherbi, adorgi, ktela, ktela azareb, ktela kineb, ktela tvagib, ktela lutsmib, ...
