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, Azkali grammar was far more irregular and was more differentiated from languages in Ukilen.
