Grammatical gender
Zhoushi languages distinguishes a total of 3 grammatical genders, one being latter subdivided into animate and inanimate forms[1] and one non-gender labeled as "Indifferent",[2] which has the simplest inflection rules:
- Masculine (Muʒsky)
- Masculine animate (Muʒsky Ʒiƿny) (symbol ♂, letter M)
- Masculine inanimate (Muʒsky Ƞeʒiƿny) (symbol ⚦, letter D)
- Feminine (Ʒonsky) (symbol ♀, letter F)
- Neuter (Srєdsky) (symbol ⚲, letter N)
- Indifferent (Ƞemistny) (symbol ⚥, letter I) (used is some foreign words, such as "Zombie" or with a religious terms. Name "Preah"[3] (In Zhoushi "Priєȝ") is for example inflected as indifferent. As intedefferent are also declined terms for countries and regions ending as -ijє)
Grammatical cases
Zhoushi langauge works with 2 grammatical numbers (singular (Odnetƞik) and plural (Mnoʒƞik), some dual forms are still present for some words) 8 separate grammatical cases:
- Nominative (Miƞik): Subject or a Predicate noun or adjectiv (Shorcut Nom., № 1)
- Genitive (Rodƞik): Possessive or partial direct object, without Subject (Shorcut Gen., № 2)
- Dative (Darƞik): Giving to Subject, phrases linked to certain verbs (Shorcut Dat., № 3)
- Accusative (Viƞik): Interract with Subject (see, hear, harass...) (Shorcut Acc., № 4)
- Locative (Mistƞik): In Subject, on Subject, past Subject, nearby Subject, about Subject (Shorcut Loc., № 5)
- Instrumentative (Tvorƞik): Using Subject, with Subject (Shorcut Ins., № 6)
- Ablative (Mєrƞik): Part of Subject, compared to Subject, the way (Shorcut Abl., № 7)
- Vocative (Volaƞik): Referring to Subject, calling Subject (Shorcut Voc., № 8)
There are 16 Inflection patterns (4 for Masculine animate, 4 for Masculine inanimate, 4 for Feminine and 4 for Neuter)

Adjectives
Association to gender
Zhoushi adjectives could be divided into four groups:
- Descriptive soft
- Descriptive hard
- Possessive soft
- Possessive hard
Possessive adjectives describe a association to or a ownership of a certain object (such as "Father's car" - Oþcovo auto), while the descriptive adjectives describe a atribute or a property of the said object (such as "Blue car" - Modre auto). Adjectives do not differentiate between masculine inanimate and masculine animate.[6] Indifferent gender words are declined using neuter forms.
There are 4 Inflection patterns (One for each group of adjectives)

Zhoushi uses five forms for comparison of the adjective:
- Negative - Negation of the word: Happy → Unhappy
- Positive - Basic form of the word: Happy
- Comparative - Form for comparison relative to something: Happy → Happier
- Superlative - Form showing absolute relative to a group: Happy → Happiest
- Augmentative - Form showing absolute position without a relative: Happy → Ultimately/Absolutely happy
Pronouns
Pronouns are inflected as well. Zhoushi has multiple factors, such as masculine, feminine neuter and indifferent singular third person, inclusive and exclusive first person plural and reflexive pronouns.

In plural, if the subject of the coversation which is substituted by "they" a mix of multiple genders, there is a hierarchy of genders which are prefered. Here is a list:
- Masculine (both animate and inanimate) - Muʒy, Lєsy, Rөʒe aj Kuꝛata - use "Oni"
- Feminine - Rөʒe aj Kuꝛata - use "Ony"
- Neuter/indifferent - Kuꝛata aj Miƞєsta - use "Ona"
If masculine is present, use masculine form. If there is no masculine, but there is a feminine, use feminine form. Use neuter if only indifferent and neuter words are present.
Numbers

Due to the prominence of hexadactyly between the Zhoushi populace, Zhousheng is one of the few nations, that developed a dozenal system. Zhousheng officially used latinized dozenal system until 1978, when the government officially decided to abandon the system and move towards a decimal system. In school, both systems are told in a paralel to each other, which helps Zhoushi students to better understand numbers and aren't tied to just one graphical representation of the number, supporting abstract thinking. However, this also causes some problems with education, therefore math is being told in kindergarden as well to balance the pressure kids would be subjected during math exams.

១២ | Twelve | Do | Dvanasꞇ | Ceλeꞇ (Cyclical) Tuƌeꞇ |
Currently, dozenal system is used only sparsely in common use, but for example clocks still retained their original cyclic description (that is 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-ᚴ-ⵒ-ᘐ), so called cyclical symbol, noted as "ᘐ" in new Zhoushi numerals refers to a number in a twelve-step cycle. Example could be clock, where numerals 10, 11 and 12 are replaced by ᚴ, ⵒ and ᘐ to this day. Some translations of the Kaȝin Canon still use dozenal naming, especially in the Book of Revelation of John.
Numbers 11-1ⵒ
Numbers 11-1ⵒ are created by adding suffix "-asꞇ" (Or "-nasꞇ") to the numbers 1-ⵒ. The same system applied to the old decimal numbering, therefore, the next table is listing both decimal and dozenal, keep in mind the values are relative:

Numbers 21-ⵒⵒ
