	The romanized alphabet is fairly simply and based largely on the IPA. Ejectives are written with doubled plosive counterparts (e.g. [k`] = <kk>), the fricatives [θ ç χ] as <þ z r>, [j] as <y> and [ɟ] as <j>. The vowels are written single or doubled for long/short (/ tense/lax) as <i ü u e ö o a>.		The romanized alphabet is fairly simply and based largely on the IPA.

The vowels are written single or doubled for long/short (/ tense/lax) as "i ü u e ö o a".


	==Grammar==		==Grammar==
			==Pronouns==
			Pronouns in Adzamasi are declined into four persons (the fourth being obviative). The second and third persons feature gender (non-grammatical - the four genders of Adzamasiin society), and the third and fourth person also animacy. All pronouns have honorific forms, and the first person plural comes in inclusive and exclusive. None are declined for case, although there are reflexive and possessive forms.

	==Morphology==		==Morphology==
	<!-- ~~How do the words~~ in ~~your language look? How do you derive words from others? Do you have cases? Are verbs inflected? Do nouns differ from adjectives? Do adjectives differ from verbs? Etc~~. ~~-->~~		As a polysynthetic agglutinative language, Adzamasi features a robust morphological component.

			===Nominal morphology===
			Nouns in Adzamasi are defined for definiteness, number, and animacy. When quantified they must also take classifiers.

			====Articles====
			There are three articles, which are better described as definiteness prefixes.

			The indefinite is unmarked, while the definite takes ''il-'', the partitive ''o-'', possessed ''þar-'', and none article ''qa-''.

			====Number and animcy====
			Both number and animacy are coded in a fused suffix. There are two number categories (singuler and plural) and seven animacy classes: inanimates, tools, fluids, plants, animals, deities and sacred things, and people.

	~~<!-- Here~~ are ~~some example subcategories~~:		The suffixes are:

	~~Nouns~~		{\| class="wikitable"
	~~Adjectives~~		\|-
	~~Verbs~~		! Animacy !! Singular !! Plural
	~~Adverbs~~		\|-
	~~Particles~~		\| Inanimate \|\| -(y)ik \|\| -(i)xi
	~~Derivational morphology~~		\|-
			\| Tool \|\| -(y)it \|\| -(i)þ
			\|-
			\| Fluid \|\| -(a)o \|\| -(i)qo
			\|-
			\| Plant \|\| -(a)t \|\| -aþa
			\|-
			\| Animal \|\| -sat \|\| -su
			\|-
			\| Sacred \|\| -(o)n \|\| -vah
			\|-
			\| People \|\| -(y)et \|\| -(y)on
			\|}

	~~-->~~		Old morphological forms for the ''person'' category are still seen in some irregular forms, such as ''bakrar / bakraan'' 'man / men.' There is also a defunct ''location'' class which is seen in some words such as ''nariq / narenüq'' 'horse(s)."

	~~This is a short reminder of the language format policy.~~

	~~I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).~~
	~~II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)~~
	~~III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.~~

	The Adzamasi language is a fantasy lang created for the Adzamasiin, a nomadic desert people of the world of Mygith (a med-fantasy project). It took some original inspiration from Turkish phonology, but grammatically it much more closely resembles Athabaskan and Inuit languages. Adzamasi is highly agglutinative, polysynthetic, and its word order follows the animacy hierarchy.		The Adzamasi language is a fantasy lang created for the Adzamasiin, a nomadic desert people of the world of Mygith (a med-fantasy project). There are three major dialect groups: Tabiqa (most populous, 'standard') ; Adzamian (highest amount of borrowings) ; and Kilimbadi (the most otherwise divergent). Adzamasi took some original inspiration from Turkish phonology, but grammatically it much more closely resembles Athabaskan and Inuit languages. Adzamasi is highly agglutinative, polysynthetic, and its word order follows the animacy hierarchy.

			The Kilimbadi dialect also has /g/, and pronounces the uvular ejective as a glottal stop. The palatal stops are postalveolar affricates in Tabiqa.

			Geminates are not permitted. ''il-dac-catt'' -> /ildacatt/, */ildaccatt/ "in the lake"

			Fricatives are voiced intervocalically, or in clusters with a voiced sound or another fricative. ''tuusa'', [tu:za] "long"
