===Phonotactics===
*/h/ cannot follow another consonant or occur intervocalically.
*/s/ can only occur word-finally.
*Words cannot end with /g/ or any consonant cluster.
*Vowels (except for diphthongs) must be separated by a consonant.
*Word-initial consonant clusters are limited to [plosive]+[liquid] (i.e. {ptkbdg} + {lr}), but not /tl/ or /dl/.
**Intervocalic clusters may be:
**Geminate plosives or sonorants: /pp/, /tt/, /kk/, /bb/, /dd/, /ll/, /rr/, /mm/, /nn/; but not /gg/.
**Any [plosive]+[liquid] combination: /pl/, /pr/, /tl/, /tr/, /kl/, /kr/, /bl/, /br/, /dl/, /dr/, /gl/, /gr/
**Any [plosive]+/w/: /pw/, /tw/, /kw/, /bw/, /dw/, /gw/
**Any [nasal]+[unvoiced plosive] or [affricate]: /mp/, /nt/, /nk/, /nʧ/, /nʤ/
**Also: /ngw/, /hk/, /hw/, /hj/
*/i/ and /u/ are realized as [ɪ] and [ʊ], respectively, in unstressed closed syllables.
*Like short vowels may contract (including with like short vowels which are part of a diphthong), e.g. ''[[Contionary: raiwai#Grayis|raiwai]]''+''[[Contionary: itta#Grayis|itta]]''+''[[Contionary: aichī#Grayis|aichī]]'' (‘those six men’) > ''raiwai’tt’aichī''. Determiners, adjectives, pronouns, and adverbs are the most likely to lose vowels to contraction, while nouns and verbs do not usually experience any elision.
====List of Valid Onsets====
Onsets are not required. The following onsets may occur (including clusters): b–, br–, br–, ch–, d–, dr–, g–, gl–, gr–, h–, j–, k–, kh–, kl–, kr–, l–, m–, n–, p–, pl–, pr–, r–, t–, tr–, w–, y–
====List of Valid Nuclei====
Any vowel may act as a nucleus.
====List of Valid (Intersyllabic) Consonant Clusters====
An intersyllabic consonant is required, though it need not be a cluster. Any single consonant may occur between syllables except for ‹h› and ‹s›. The following intersyllabic consonant clusters may occur:
–bb–, –bl–, –br–, –bw–, –dd–, –dl–, –dr–, –dw–, –gl–, –gr–, –gw–, –hk–, –hw–, –hy–, –kk–, –kl–, –kr–, –kw–, –ll–, –mm–, –mp–, –nch–, –ngw–, –nj–, –nk–, –nn–, –ny–, –pl–, –pp–, –pr–, –pw–, –rr–, –tl–,
–tr–, –tt–, –tw–
====List of Valid Codas====
A coda is not required. No clusters may occur as a coda, but any single consonant may appear as a coda except for ‹g›: –b, –ch, –d, –dj, –h, –k, –l, –m, –n, –p, –r, –s, –t
===Stress===
Stress is determined by mora weight of the rime. No syllable can have more than 3 morae in the rime (VVC). When determining stress, the following order takes precedence:
'''<tt>VːC > VVC > Vː > VV > VC > V</tt>'''
(E.g. āt > aut > ā > au > at > a)
If syllabic weights are equal, the left-most of the equal syllables is stressed. E.g. ''[[Contionary: tākkum#Grayis|tā́kkum]]'' ‘wide’ /ˈtaːk.kʊm/, ''[[Contionary: grawukkai#Grayis|grawukkái]]'' ‘worm’ /gra.wukˈkai/, ''[[Contionary: iruntutim#Grayis|irúntutim]]'' ‘cold weather’ /iˈrun.tu.tim/.
When stress deviates from this pattern it is indicated by an acute diacritic. (Examples above are not normally accented, but acute is used for illustrative purposes.)

==Grammatical Orders and Alignments==
 
===Typology===
The typology of Grayis is predominantly SOV (subject-object-verb), but may be better described as simply verb-final. The positions of subject and object may shift depending on topicality or markedness.


===Phonotactics===
===Morphosyntactic Alignment===
Grayis has what may be considered tripartite alignment, which means that nouns are differentiated for subject, object, and agentive roles; these roles are all marked with particles which may be considered adpositions.


* Words cannot start with /s/.
===Other Orders===
* /h/ cannot occur intervocalically or follow another consonant.
The Grayis language is predominantly head-final, and this is reflected in many of its more granular alignments.
* /s/ can ''only'' occur word-finally.
* Words cannot end with /g/ or any consonant cluster.
* Vowels (except for diphthongs) must be separated by a consonant.
* Word-initial consonant clusters are limited to [plosive]+[liquid] (i.e. {ptkbdg} + {lr}), but not /tl/ or /dl/.
* Intervocalic clusters may be:
** Geminate plosives or sonorants: /pp/, /tt/, /kk/, /bb/, /dd/, /ll/, /rr/, /mm/, /nn/; but not /gg/.
** Any [plosive]+[liquid] combination: /pl/, /pl/, /tl/, /tr/, /kl/, /kr/, /bl/, /br/, /dl/, /dr/, /gl/, /gr/
** Any [plosive]+/w/: /pw/, /tw/, /kw/, /bw/, /dw/, /gw/
** Any [nasal]+[unvoiced plosive] or [affricate]: /mp/, /nt/, /nk/, /nʧ/, /nʤ/
** Also: /ngw/, /hk/, /hw/, /hj/
* Unstressed /au/ is realized as [o̞ː]
* Unstressed /ai/ is realized as [e̞ː]
* Unstressed /a/ may be realized as [ə] or [ɐ]
* /ʧ/ may be realized as [ʨ] for some speakers.


===Stress===
====Noun Phrases====
In noun phrases, only adpositions precede the noun. Demonstratives, numerals, adjectives, genitive constructions, and relative clauses all follow the noun, in that specific order (preposition – NOUN – postposition - determiner/demonstrative – numeral – adjective (phrase) – genitive (phrase) – relative clause). For example, the noun phrase “with those six tall men from town who stole my ferret” would be assembled in the order:


Stress is determined by mora weight of the rime. No syllable can have more than 3 morae in the rime (VVC). When determining stress, the following order takes precedence:
''nu raiwai’tt’aichī mīkkidj barruh au kī pairrit ā chā’u jik makwat.''

‘with those six men from town who stole my ferret’


VːC > VVC > Vː > VV > VC > V
====Adjective Phrases====
In adjective phrases, (adverbial) measurements of degree (very, less, too, |c.) follow the adjective.


(E.g. āt > aut > ā > au > at > a)
''murāgi utta mūri katla''

|| [[Contionary: katla#Grayis|katla]]
|-
|dog
||that
||good
||very
|}
‘that very good dog’


If syllabic weights are equal, the left-most of the equal syllables is stressed. E.g. ''tā́kkum'' ‘wide’ /ˈtaːk.kʊm/, ''grawukkái'' ‘worm’ /gra.wukˈkai/, ''irúntutim'' ‘cold weather’ /iˈrun.tu.tim/.
====Verb Phrases====
As mentioned in Typology, Grayis is a verb-final language, and as such, adverbs always immediately precede the verb. In the case of negation, negatives come between the verb and other adverbs. TAM particles, if present, always directly precede the verb after negatives.


When stress deviates from this pattern it is indicated by an acute diacritic. (Examples above are not normally accented, but acute is used for illustrative purposes.)

Grayis numbers always ''follow'' the noun they modify, and the plural marker should not be used when a number is present, e.g. ''[[Contionary: tānū#Grayis|tānū]] [[Contionary: hah#Grayis|hah]]'' ‘trees’, but ''[[Contionary: tānū#Grayis|tānū]] [[Contionary: nā#Grayis|nā]]'' ‘nine trees’.


==Pronouns==
==Pronouns==


Grayis personal pronouns are divided into five categories which may be considered registers of formality, though rather than describing hierarchical relationships, they are determined by the familial and educational relationships between the speakers.
Grayis personal pronouns are divided into five categories which may be considered registers of formality, though rather than describing hierarchical relationships, they are determined by the familial and educational relationships between the speakers. There are five registers, though not all pronouns have all five forms, and some may have the same form for two or more registers.
 
*'''Equal Register.''' This is the register you would use with friends, acquaintances, colleagues, and others you interact with regularly who do not fall into any of the other registers.
*'''Family Register.''' This is similar to that of Equal, but it has the additional connotation that the speakers are related to one another. This is the register for cousins, siblings, and sometimes other family members such as aunts, uncles, or other non-nuclear relations.
*'''Stranger Register.''' The third register is the default for most day-to-day interaction. This is also known as the Neutral Register, as it may be seen as slightly formal. This register is used with anyone you don’t know well. Many workplaces also maintain a neutral register for professional interactions in situation where the Equal register may otherwise be used.
*'''Teacher Register.''' The fourth register is used explicitly for addressing a teacher, parent, or mentor. Situationally, this may also be the assumed register for addressing family elders.
*'''Child Register.''' The fifth and final register is the inverse of the Teacher register: It is how parents address their children, and how teachers address students.

==Nouns==
 
Grayis nouns do not inflect for case or number, but depending on how they are analyzed, they can be said to have six possible cases. The “inflection” is actually simply the addition of grammatical particles which clarify the role of the noun in a sentence. (The “conjugation” of verbs works in the same way.)
 
Grayis can also be analyzed as having no cases at all, and simply has five postpositions in addition to various prepositions. They are presented here as cases simply to help clarify the tripartite morphosyntactic alignment, but the learner should feel free to think of them in whatever manner is easiest to remember.
 
===Absolutive===
 
The absolutive particle ''[[Contionary: ū#Grayis|ū]]'' is placed after a subject noun which does not take a direct object. This is always the case with intransitive verbs, and can also be the case with optionally transitive verbs with no object.

===Ergative===
 
The counterpart to absolutive is ergative. Any noun which takes a direct object must be marked with the particle ''[[Contionary: ī#Grayis|ī]]''. (This particle is always paired with another noun phrase containing the particle ''[[Contionary: ā#Grayis|ā]]'', and vice versa.)

===Accusative===
 
The accusative (or direct object) of any verb is marked with the particle ''[[Contionary: ā#Grayis|ā]]''. (This particle is always paired with another noun phrase containing the particle ''[[Contionary: ī#Grayis|ī]]'', and vice versa.)

The genitive particle ''[[Contionary: au#Grayis|au]]'' indicates that the noun belongs to, is a part of, or is related to another noun. The genitive particle can be thought of as equivalent to the English clitic ''’s'', though it has a few different uses as well, such as forming the possessive pronouns (‘my’, ‘her’, ‘their’, |c), or translating the words ‘of’ or ‘from’.

===Dative===


The dative particle ''[[Contionary: ai#Grayis|ai]]'' indicates that the noun is an indirect object of some kind. The dative case is a bit ambiguous in most languages, and can often be replaced by various prepositions (such as ‘to’, ‘for’, or ‘towards’).

===Oblique===
 
Finally, the oblique case (also called the prepositional case) is used when a noun is preceded by a preposition, or is otherwise not followed by any of the above adpositions.

==Names==
Grayis personal given names are usually composed of two words which often describe parents’ hopes or aspirations for their child. This may be one or two nouns, a noun and an adjective, or a noun and a verb. Most names are composed of four syllables, though this is not a rule, and it is sometimes considered prestigious to have a name composed of mainly long syllables. While there are many common names and themes, there are not a set of standardized names.
