 ====Vowels====
+Baoluoveng doesn't like closing diphthongs very much, unlike Standard Ciètian.
 Short vowels:
-*a e ie i o u ü /a ə (j)ɛ (w)ɪ (w)ɔ (w)ə (ɥ)ʏ/
+*a ie i o u ü /a (j)ɛ (w)ɪ (w)ɔ (w)ʊ (ɥ)ʏ/
-Diphthongs:
+Long vowels:
-*ai ei uai ui iei üei /aɪ ɛɪ waɪ wɛɪ jɛɪ ɥøʏ/
+*ai ee uai uee ie üe /ɑː~aɪ eː waɪ~wɑː weː jeː ɥøː/
-*ao iao ou iu /aʊ jaʊ əʊ jəʊ/
+**[aɪ] is the Canadian-raised allophone of /ɑː/
-*ì ù ǜ /(j)iː~(j)ɪj uː~ʊw (ɥ)yː~(ɥ)ʏɥ/
+*au iau oo ioo /æː~əʊ jæː~əʊ oː joː/
+**[əʊ] is the Canadian-raised allophone of /æː/
+*ii uu üü /(j)iː uː (ɥ)yː/
-Long monophthongs (linking R /ɹ/ is used when a vowel follows):
+R-linking vowels:
-*uor, uòr, uò, ur, ùr /(w)oː(ɹ)/
+*uor, uoor, uoo, ur, uur /(w)ɔː(ɹ)/
-*(i)ar, (i)àr, (i)à /(j)ɑː(ɹ)/
+*(i)ar, (i)aar, (i)aa /(j)æː(ɹ)/

 **e.g. ''liangr'' /ljɑ̃̀ː(ɹ)/ 'dream'
 Unstressed vowels:
-*e, final -er = /(j)ə(ɹ)/
+*final -r = /(j)ə(ɹ)/
 *final -i = /ɪ/
-*final -ou = /əʊ/
+*final -ou = /o/
 Many grammatical endings are merged in {{PAGENAME}}.
 =====Linking R=====
-*Example of linking R: ''yi kaθer àrd'' [jɪ ˈkʰaħə ɹ‿ɑ̂ːʔ] 'the big flower' (cf. [[Qenian]]: ''ye kaħerr àrd'' [jə ˈkʰahər ʔɔɯt])
+*Example of linking R: ''yi χazr àard'' [jɪ ˈxazə ɹ‿æ̂ːʔ] 'the big flower' (cf. [[Ciètian]]: ''ye χazerr àrd'' [jə ˈxazər ʔɔɯt])
-*No linking R: ''yi búd àrd'' [jɪ ˈpǔːʔ ɑ̂ːʔ] 'the big cave' (cf. [[Qenian]]: ''ye bùta àrd'' [jə ˈpuːtʰə ʔɔɯt])
+*No linking R: ''yi búuθ àard'' [jɪ ˈpǔːħ æ̂ːʔ] 'the big cave' (cf. [[Ciètian]]: ''ye bùθa àrd'' [jə ˈpuːhə ʔɔɯt])
 ====Mutations====
-Báoluòveng has no eclipsis mutation, unlike Qenian. Lenition is similar to Qenian, except t lenites to θ /ħ/.
+Báoluòveng has no eclipsis mutation, unlike Cièdian. Lenition is similar to Cièdian.
 ==Grammar==
 ===Nouns===
-No case; everything merged to nominative
+The {{PAGENAME}} noun system is much simpler than in Cièdian: there is no case, and the masculine and the feminine merged to the common gender.
+As in Ciètian, the singular definite article ''ye'' and ''ye<sup>N</sup>'' changes to ''yen'' (with no mutation) before a noun starting with a vowel or a semivowel. The same occurs for plural nouns too. For example:
+*''*yi<sup>L</sup> ùur'' > ''yin ùur'' /jɪn ˈwɤ̂ː/ (masculine) 'the sense (nominative)'; pl. ''nan ùurn'' /nən wɤ̂ːn/ 'the senses'
+*''*yi àavr'' > ''yin àavr'' /jɪn ˈæ̂ːvə/ (neuter) 'the book (nominative)'; pl. ''nan áavr'' /nən ˈæ̌ːvə/ 'the books'
+{| class="greentable lightgreenbg" style="text-align:center;"
+|+ '''Definite article'''
+! colspan="2" | singular || colspan="2" | plural
+|-
+! common || neuter || common || neuter
+|-
+| ''yi<sup>L</sup>, yin''<br/>''yi bpràan'' /jɪ bɹæ̂ːn/ 'the corner' || ''yi, yin''<br/>''yi hāar'' /jɪ xǣ:/ 'the flower' || ''na, nan''<br/>''na bpràanr'' /nə bɹæ̂ːnə/ 'the corners' || ''na<sup>L''</sup><br/>''na γǎar'' /nə ɣæ̌:/ 'the flowers'
+|}
-Genders: common and neuter
+Nouns are usually pluralized with ''-r''. If the singular already ends in ''-r'', the plural is unchanged except possibly with a tone change.
+====Pluralization patterns====
+#sg. null > pl. -r /ə/: The regular pattern.
+#*''bpràan'' /bræ̂:n/ 'a corner' > ''bpràanr'' /bræ̂:nə/
+#sg. level tone > pl. rising tone: Common for nouns whose stems contain a *ð (Tigol ṫ) or *γ (Tigol ċ).
+#*''hāar'' /xǣ:/ 'a flower' > ''hǎar'' /xæ̌:/ 'flowers'
+#sg. falling tone > pl. rising: Common for nouns already ending in r
+#*''àavr'' /ˈæ̂ːvə/ 'a book' > ''áavr'' /ˈæ̌ːvə/ 'books'
+#sg. null > pl. -n /ən/: For nouns which were monosyllabic in Tigol and ended in a vowel.
+#*''tèe'' /tʰe:/ 'a valley' pl. ''tèen'' /tʰêːn/ 'valleys'
+===Adjectives===
+Adjectives take plurals like nouns, and have the same pluralization patterns as nouns.
+*''shàan'' /ʂæ̂:n/ 'true (sg)' > ''shàanr'' /ʂæ̂:nə/ 'true (pl)' (~ [[Eevo]] ''tŋawm'' 'true')
+*''zhùu'' /tʂû:/ 'red (sg)' > ''zhùun'' /tʂû:n/ 'red (pl)' (~ [[Eevo]] ''dru'' 'copper')
 ===Verbs===
-Conjugated verbs; split-ergativity with ''-īn'' preterite
+There is a binary system of present vs. past. The past tense requires ergative syntax to be used, like in Anbirese and Ciètian.
+The ergative particle is ''u'' /ʊ/.
+====Tonal ablaut patterns====
+#present level > past rising (verbs ending in consonants)
+#present any tone > past -n (verbs ending in vowels)
+#*''shuò'' 'digs' (~Eevo ''troh'' 'to oppose'); ''shuōn'' 'dug'
