====Nouns====
===Nouns===
Nouns are generally not declined, except for marking possession, which varies among dialects of National Simphonian. The possession suffix commonly used is /i/, which is prevalent among Shifer, Waerun, and Kanopher speakers.
Nouns are generally not declined, except for marking possession, which varies among dialects of National Simphonian.  
Numbers
====Possession====
====Adjectives====
Possession is indicated by the particle /du/, which is used to connect the possessor to the possessum. The possessum precedes /du/ and the possessor follows /du/.
====Articles and Numbers====
Nouns are not declined for number, so the noun forms are the same for both singular and plural number. However, there is a set of articles which are used to indicate number. These articles precede the noun.
National Simphonian has a definite article /zom/. This does not only indicate definiteness but also the topic of the sentence. /zom/ has only standard form, but it is also common to see it declined according to number for certain dialects, so it is also used to indicate the number of the noun.
====Case====
Nouns are not declined by case. A set of particles is used instead to indicate case. See the syntax for more details.
===Pronouns===
