  SVO
Tayamo is an SVO language, however the word order is generally free due to noun declensions, when the personal pronouns are used as clitics and not stressed, the word order becomes SOV, with pronouns it's only SVO when the Object is stressed.
  noun like adjectives
  possessee - possessor
  adjective - noun
  prepossitions
 
  syllable structure: (C)V(S)
  C - consonant
  V - vowwel
  S - sonorant

==Adjectives and Adverbs==
===The definite article===
{{wp|Comparison (grammar)|Comparison}} forms of [[wikipedia:Adjective|Adjectives]] and [[wikipedia:Adverb|Adverbs]]:
Due to [[Thuado-Thrismaran languages|Thuado-Thrismaran]] influence, during the period of Middle Tayamo a definite article developed in the form of the '''та(н)''' particle, which is placed infront of a word ('''та''' мак'о, '''тан''' итары). Some more conservative dialects don't use the Definite article, but it's a part of the Standard language.


* '''Positive''' - Bassic form of the word: big - ''кай
In Modern Tayamo, the particle has moved into a suffix:
* '''Negative''' - Negation of the word: '''un'''big* -  '''''ре-'''кай
{| class="wikitable"
* '''Comparitive''' - Form for comparison relative to something: big'''ger''' '''''п'а-'''кай
|-
* '''Superlative''' - Form showing absolute relative to a group: big'''gest''' '''''не-'''кай

===Copula===
One thing that as brought into Tayamo from the [[Aschari|Aschari language]] is the polite/formal pronouns, which did not exist in the language before Aschari influence, however it is very simple when comapared to [[Aschari]], only having 2 levels of politeness, being polite/formal and impolite/informal.

===Tense, Aspect, Mood===
 
The language allows pro drop, where the pronoun can be dropped from the sentance becouse it is inflicted by the verb conjugation, the pronoun can be added for the purpose to add stress to the one doing the action.

Verbs can be negated with the '''ре-''' suffix:
{| class="wikitable"
|тоўа (you give)|| →|| ретоўа (you don't give).
|}
 
===Copula===
The word order for the copula verb in standart Tayamo is SOV, due to the language being pro drop, if the pronoun isn's stressed it can be dropped, it acts as a suffix to the object, if the copua is stressed it's put infront of the word. In the western dialects the copula can be left out unless it's stressed, instead using the pronouns.

=Language Sample=
=Numerals=
Tayamo is a {{wp|Decimal system|Decimal (Base-10)}} language. There are two ways to form numerals in Tayamo, the Old way, which is how numbers were build in the original Tayamo language, the second, New way, which came from the [[Thuado-Thrismaran languages|Thuado-Thrismaran]] ways, it exists due to their influence on the language.
In Modern Tayamo the Old way is used mainly with smaller numbers like 1-99, and in literary scenarios, while the New way is used with large numbers like the hunderds, thousands and millions and in colloquial situations.


=Alpha-syllabary wip=
In the Old way, numbers are build agglutinatively: 6 - 1-on-5, 11 - 1-on-10, 20 - 2_10, 21 - 1-on-2_10 and so on.
While in the new way, numbers above 20 are build with the conjunctioн '''га''' (and): 21 - 20-and-1, 31 - 30-and-1, 101 - 100-and-1, 121 - 100-20-and-1, and so on.


==Cardinal numbers==
All cardinal numerals end in the cardinal suffix '''-цы''', this is a particle left over from the original Tayamo language, the suffix has disapeared in the western dialects.

Grammar

Syntax

Tayamo is an SVO language, however the word order is generally free due to noun declensions, when the personal pronouns are used as clitics and not stressed, the word order becomes SOV, with pronouns it's only SVO when the Object is stressed.

Nouns

Case and Number

There are two numbers in Tayamo, singular and plural, historically it had a paucal number that fell out of use during middle Tayamo. Tayamo has 6 noun cases:

Locative -(a)цыда к'ацыда (on rocks), занцыда (on bears) моцыда (where), мыцыда (at who)

The definite article

Due to Thuado-Thrismaran influence, during the period of Middle Tayamo a definite article developed in the form of the та(н) particle, which is placed infront of a word (та мак'о, тан итары). Some more conservative dialects don't use the Definite article, but it's a part of the Standard language.

In Modern Tayamo, the particle has moved into a suffix:

syllable type suffix example
open /a, ɨ̞/
closed* /j, w/
-'та кана'та (the song)
мары'та (the horse)
open /ɛ, i, o, u/ -'то хоне'то (the friend)
токо'то (the town)
closed -'а там'а (the fish)
ўен'а (the bell)
  • Note: an apostrohpe is added before the article to help distinguish words.

Prnouns

One thing that as brought into Tayamo from the Aschari language is the polite/formal pronouns, which did not exist in the language before Aschari influence, however it is very simple when comapared to Aschari, only having 2 levels of politeness, being polite/formal and impolite/informal.

Number and Person Nominative Accusitive
(Direct object)
Dative
(Indirect object)
Genitive Instrumental Locative
stressed clitic stressed clitic
Singular First Коны Кони -ки Кону -ку Коно Ког'а Кода
Second Formal Уда Уди -ди Уду -ду Удано Удаг'а Удада
Imformal Да Ди Ду Дано Даг'а Дада
Third То Той -ти Тоў -ту Тоно Тог'а Тода
Plural First Коныцы Коци -кыци Коцу -кыцу Коцыно Коцыг'а Коцыда
Second Formal Удацы Удаци -дыци Удацу -дыцу Удацыно Удацыг'а Удацыда
Imformal Дацы Даци Дацу Дацыно Дацыг'а Дацыда
Third Тоцы Тоци -тыци Тоцу -тыцу Тоцыно Тоцыг'а Тоцыда

The clitic suffixes are used to form Polypersonal verbs.

Adjectives and Adverbs

Comparison forms of Adjectives and Adverbs:

  • Positive - Bassic form of the word: big - ян
  • Negative - Negation of the word: unbig* - ре-ян
  • Comparitive - Form for comparison relative to something: bigger - п'а-ян
  • Superlative - Form showing absolute relative to a group: biggest - не-ян

Verbs

Tense, Aspect, Mood

The language allows pro drop, where the pronoun can be dropped from the sentance becouse it is inflicted by the verb conjugation, the pronoun can be added for the purpose to add stress to the one doing the action.

Verbs can be negated with the ре- suffix:

тоўа (you give) ретоўа (you don't give).

Copula

The word order for the copula verb in standart Tayamo is SOV, due to the language being pro drop, if the pronoun isn's stressed it can be dropped, it acts as a suffix to the object, if the copua is stressed it's put infront of the word. In the western dialects the copula can be left out unless it's stressed, instead using the pronouns.

Numerals

Tayamo is a Decimal (Base-10) language. There are two ways to form numerals in Tayamo, the Old way, which is how numbers were build in the original Tayamo language, the second, New way, which came from the Thuado-Thrismaran ways, it exists due to their influence on the language. In Modern Tayamo the Old way is used mainly with smaller numbers like 1-99, and in literary scenarios, while the New way is used with large numbers like the hunderds, thousands and millions and in colloquial situations.

In the Old way, numbers are build agglutinatively: 6 - 1-on-5, 11 - 1-on-10, 20 - 2_10, 21 - 1-on-2_10 and so on. While in the new way, numbers above 20 are build with the conjunctioн га (and): 21 - 20-and-1, 31 - 30-and-1, 101 - 100-and-1, 121 - 100-20-and-1, and so on.


Cardinal numbers

All cardinal numerals end in the cardinal suffix -цы, this is a particle left over from the original Tayamo language, the suffix has disapeared in the western dialects.
