Flewtish is typologically agglutinative, using almost exclusively suffixal affixation to indicate number, tense, person and case.

==History== | |||
Flewtish is possibly a [[w:Paleosiberian languages|Paleo-siberian]] language that through migration reached it's current territory.

==Orthography== | |||
Flewtish officially is written with the Cyrillic script as law enforces it in Russia. However the language is biscriptal and hence, it uses both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts to be written. | |||
==Stress== | |||
Flewtish is a stress accent language, and the stress is fixed to the final syllable of each word. Some eastern dialects have a pitch accent. | |||
