Asaari is a heavily [[w:agglutinative language|agglutinating]] or [[w:polysynthetic language|polysynthetic language]], with a complex verbal morphology.

I also wish to make it clear that this language has '''no connexion what so ever''' to the invented language and species of [[w:Asari (Mass Effect)|Asari]], in the video game Mass Effect! The name is purely coincidental as Asaari is derived from the word for "blue" in the language (Yes, I'm aware the species of Mass Effect also happen to be blue...), which was propably inspired from the European word "[[wikt:azure|azure]]". The final "-i" is a relativising suffix. No connexions, okay!? | |||
