Hololang is the language that used to be spoken by the members of the HoloCouncil (if you know the Hololive english second generation), since they have been here on the universe before the appearance of the human race and therefore the surgiment of human language. This is the language that was used during the meetings of the Council.

*{{IPA|r}} becomes {{IPA|ɾ}} between vowels or between a plosive and a vowel
*{{IPA|r}} becomes {{IPA|ɾ}} between vowels or between a plosive and a vowel
*Vowels get longer when placed at the end of a word, in a diphthong or between a vowel and a nasal consonant for example in the words vē {{IPA|vɛː}} (english: we), sofēng {{IPA|sɔfɛːŋ}} (english: seven) and Havaī {{IPA|havaiː}} (english: Hawaii}}

*In cases where the last syllable ends in "n" or "m", the vowel that is before this sound becomes nasalized and longer.
Example: mūmān {{IPA|mu:.mã:}} (civilization)
*{{IPA|s}} becomes {{IPA|ʃ}} at the end of the last syllable

Nouns are divided in three families: common, colective and proper.
Nouns are divided in three families: common, colective and proper.
====Common Nouns====
Common nouns are the only nouns that can inflect in degree. It includes all nouns (including the abstract ones, which are the exception to the degree inflection).
====Proper Nouns====
Only words that use the upper case (or not) orthographically. They describe people, gods, pets, countries, geographical or astronomical places nouns.
====Collective Nouns====
This type of nouns are done from the common nouns, using the prefix '''joī-'''. Only nouns that describe things that can be grouped have a collective noun form.

* '''Numeral''' - check the number table (ordinal section)
* '''Numeral''' - check the number table (ordinal section)
* '''Relative / Relational''' - establishes a relationship
* '''Relative / Relational''' - establishes a relationship
A relational adjective comes from an already exisisting name, using the suffix -n, in names that end in consoant the suffix changes to -ēn.
Examples:
labū (lip) -> labū'''n''' (labial)</br>
corpū (body) -> corpū'''n''' (body)</br>
kores (planet) -> kores'''ēn''' (planetary)
Nationalities are the most known example of relational adjectives


=== Adverbs ===

Most of the adverbs come from adjectives, to know which adverb you are looking at, you need to understand the suffixes for formation of adverbs. Adverbs are, like adjectives, flexible by degree but only in the superlative, there's no comparative degree in adverbs.
==== Adverbs formation from adjectives ====
In order to create an adverb, the adjective in case must be:
* in the Normal or Superlative degree;
* in the Complimentary form;
* without the contraditory preffix
bōnyij (beautiful) can be used to form an adverb, meanwhile abōnyij (not beautiful) cannot be used neither ahabōnyij or habōnyij (pejorative forms of beautiful and not beautiful).
After checking this, we need to check the suffix of the adjective in order to classify the sub-class, if the adjective ends in '''-ij''' then we have a '''qualifying adjective'''. If the adjetive ends in '''-n''' we have a '''relational adjective''', if we have an ordinal numeral (a numeral which suffix is '''-īng''') then we have a '''numeral adjective'''.

==== Adverb Subclasses ====
There are 4 subclasses of adverbs, those 4 subclasses are based on the adjective-adverb relation. The subclasses are:
* Qualifying adverbs - adverbs that came from qualifying adjectives;
* Numeral adverbs - adverbs that came from ordinal numerals / numeral adjectives;
* Relational adverbs - adverbs that came from relative / relational adjectives;
* Special adverbs - Umbrella term for all adverbs that doesn't come from an adjective.
===== Special Adverbs =====
The special adverbs are a very large subclass, they include the:
* Time adverbs
* Place adverbs
* Negation / Affirmation / Doubt adverbs
* Quantity adverbs (quantifierial adverb)
'''Quantity''' adverbs express quantitiy.</br>
'''ēm''' means ''normal quantity'' and it's the initial word for the rest of the quantity adverbs. Starting with bigger quantities, if you want to say more/plus you say ēm'''ān''', but if you want to say ''plus'' in maths or hours you say '''pus''' which is also on this sub-subclass. If you want to say much/ a lot/quite you say ēm'''ānī''' and if you want to say too much you say ēm'''ānidjī'''. With fewer quantities, if you want to say less/minus you say ēm'''ī''', note that in maths or hours case, for saying ''minus'' you say '''mipus''' which is also a word of this sub-subclass. If you want to say few/little bit you say ēm'''ij''' and if you want to say none/very little bit/very few you say ēm'''ijī'''.
'''Time''' adverbs express timelines, normally related with numerals (check numerals table on day and month).</br>
This adverbs are stricly related to the verbal tenses, the presence of one of these adverbs can help the speaker in choosing the proper verbal tense.

'''Place''' adverbs express location, this adverbs replace the need of prepositions.</br>
Normally these adverbs are used to give directions or to locate something in the universe.
'''NAD''' (negation, affirmation, doubt) adverbs are used to express the respective ideas mentioned, negation adverbs are the triggers for negative sentences.</br>
The negation adverbs are: nān (no), nānyer (never), nānej (negatively).</br>
The affirmation adverbs are: shān (yes), sānyer (right, correct), shānej (affirmatively, certainly).</br>
The doubt adverbs are: yān (maybe), yānjer (probably), yānjerij (possibly).</br>
