== Nouns ==
== Morphology ==
Azkali nouns are overtly declined for six grammatical cases (the '''ergative, absolutive, possessive, privative, dative,''' and '''instrumental''') and three numbers (the '''singular, paucal,''' and '''plural'''), with any type of grammatical gender being completely absent in all attested dialects. Azkali nouns are constructed agglunatively, contrasting extremely with verbs.

=== Overview ===
 
Azkali is a language isolate, and it's grammar is extremely distinct in comparison languages in its surroundings, such as Oikan and Baphian. Colloquial Azkali, the variety of Azkali which will be discussed in this article, is extremely regular — there are no irregular verbs and very few irregular nouns. Azkali, like Baphian, is an agglutinative language; Azkali is notable in the fact that Azkali nouns can become extremely long. For example, the noun ''arizentzirozatzitouzana'' means "as y'all's few tables" (definite).
