===Gender===
Modern karaalani has lost it's gender system, and only groups nouns into ones ending in a vowel and ones ending in a consonant.
Modern Karaalani has kept it's gender system partually, it appears in few places, like the stressed forms of the genitive pronouns, and in plurality.
 
===Number===
Number in Karaalani varies depending on the word, mainly due to their gender.
 
Examples of plurality:

| де'''ца''' (children)
|-
|}
<br>
In old Karaalani there used to be a counting form of words' plurality, that appeared in most monosyllabic words, and has disapeared in modern Karaalani, but it was kept in the cloasy related languages like {{wp|Bulgarian langauge|Vranic}} and Zaltylani.

===Verbs "Пър" & "Шур"-===
The "пър"and "шур" verbs came from the [Placeholder] language, which is the direct ancestor of modern Karaalani's agglutinative aspect, they are used in the context of "there is" and "there is not", these verbs also apear in the Zaltylani langauge, but not in the {{wp|Bulgarian language|Vranic language}} or Old-Karaalani, where the verb meaning "to have" in the third person singular is used.<br>


==Questions==
==Questions==
 
The question particle -'ли is used to form yes-no type questions.
==Numerals==
 
==Dialects==
Karaalanish has 4 recognized dialects, the (standart) Eastern, Western, Southern and Sofgorod dialects.
 
The Western and Southern dialects differ mainly from the Eastern and Sofgorod dialects by the fact they dont pronounce the /j/ in the letter Ѣ/Ⳉ/Ý, which in the standert Eastern dialect is pronounced as /jæ~jɜ/, and in Sofgorod as /jɛ/.
The Southern dialect dosent pronounce the stress in double characters, like in the word 'Karaalanski' ('Karaalanish'), insted of (standart Eastern) /kaɾaˈaɫan.ski/ it becomes /kɑɾɑlan.skɪ/. It also always pronounces Л/Ⲗ/L as an /l/.
The Western dialect has nasal vowels when followed after 'n', some epakers in the far west parts pronounce their r's like /ʁ/s, sum ppl consider it a seperate dialect, tho officially its recognized as an 'accent'.
The Sofgorod dialect conbines nasalization with the the /n/s and pornounces most i's as /ɨ/s and has a lot of 'unstressing'.

English language Karaalani (Cyrillic) Karaalani (Protopolyash) Karaalani (Latin)
Our Father in heaven, Очени небесав, Očeni nebesav,
hallowed be your name. да светисе имети. da svetise imeti.
Your kingdom come. да дойде царствоту, da dojde carstvotu,
Your will be done, да бъде волята, da byde voljata,
on earth as it is in heaven. както небене, така и земянъ. kakto nebene, taka i zemjany
Give us this day our daily bread Днес дайна хлѣбна дневен Dnes najna hljabna dneven
and forgive us our debts, и простине дълговени, i prostine dylgoveni,
as we also have forgiven our debtors. както ние прощаваме длъжницинине. kakto nie proštavame dlyžnicinine.
And do not bring us into temptation, И не въвеждайне изкушениев, I ne vyveždajne izkušeniev,
but rescue us from the evil one. но избавине от Лъкави. no izbavine ot Lykavi.
