Objects precede subjects, and verbs usually come at the end of sentences. Most basic words are one syllable, but a lot of concepts are expressed by compound words. Hardly any have more than 3 syllables.
Vowels are simple and crisp, with few diphthongs.
It is an inflective language with agglutinative features, where sometimes a single complex word represents an entire sentence idea. Verbs can either precede or follow subjects. Objects always follow subjects. Adjectives and adverbs are often capriciously paired in compound words to precisely or poetically modify nouns and verbs. Since Ierecina was a Nacateca, Nacateca has always been the traditional language of religion.
