== Grammar ==

Azkali is a decisively [[W:Agglutinative language|agglutinative]] language. Azkali nouns contain two definitenesses (Definite, and Indefinite), 6 cases (Nominative, Accusative, Dative, Ablative, Possessive, and Privative), and three numbers (Singular, Paucal, and Plural). Azkali verbs conjugate for three or four tenses (the Far Past, Past, and Non Past, with a dialectal future construction), and 3 moods (Indicative, Conditional, and the Imperative), and 4 aspects (Perfective, Imperfective, Habitual, and Inchoative). Azkali verbs also contain 2 participle forms (Past and Present), the gerund, and the agentive.

Azkali grammar is notably different from other languages in Ukilen. However, due to extensive contact with languages such as [[Oikan]] and [[Baphian language|Baphian]], Azkali's grammar shares some notable features with them. In the past, and continuing on up until around the 1980s even, Azkali grammar was far more irregular and was more differentiated from languages in Ukilen.

=== Consonant and Vowel Mutation ===

Consonant and vowel mutation occurs in specific grammatical and phonological scenarios in Azkali. There are three main types of mutation, all occurring in different scenarios: White Mutation (''Kenaikois''), Gray Mutation (''Kesunokois''), and Purple Mutation''.'' (''Poihekois'') Mutation is not usually reflected in the spelling of the word of which is mutated.

Mutation is one of the most novel evolutions in Azkali, evolving only around the upheaval of the 1980s and 1990s.
