[edit | edit source]In Tansord, all nouns are adjectives, and vice versa. Adjectives go before the noun, except for 4 specific adjectives: Ren (person), Am (people/nation), Ka (language), Iri (state/country/land of a people), as well as units of time (months, days, years, etc). Tansord uses the SVO word order. Tansord has one article, the definite article al- (written with a hyphen).

- For words with 3 syllables or more ending with -VCV (vowel-consonant-vowel) when it is not the subject of the sentence. (i.e. agura -> "agurat" as the subject, "agur" otherwise).
- For the vocative case, plurals are formed differently (more below).

A pattern of consonant mutation is applied (and shown in writing) depending on the last consonant in all roots with 3 syllables or more OR in roots with two syllables that end in a consonant.
Initial root consonant -> after mutation
- g -> k
- b -> p
- d -> t
- c -> s
- k -> q
