| Approximately 60% percent of Azkali's vocabulary comes from Proto-Azkali, 21% of that being from an unknown language (thought to be an extant Paleo-Azkali language). In the remaining 19%, some 12% come from [[Oikan]], 4% comes from Loremesian (most likely due to trading and long term contact between the speakers of Loremesian and Azkali), and 3% are from Paleo-Azkali languages.

| Azkali's vocabulary is extremely open class; new nouns, verbs, and pronouns are constantly being derived and used by speakers of Azkali. Other types of words, even including grammatical affixes, prepositions, and so on, are also open class, though not as much as nouns.
