The lexicon of the language is made up entirely of loan words: words that have the same definition in other languages worldwide, both classical and modern. These loan words are then translated into Canuglot by making phoenetic approximations using the available letters, sounds, and spelling rules in the language.
The language also makes heavy use of compound words, using words already defined in the Canuglot dictionary, particularly for words and definitions that do not have equivalents in other languages.
All words have a root word: this is the “initial form” of the word, and the form that appears in the dictionary.
Derived words, conjugations, and other forms and modification of words follow strict, highly regulated grammatic rules with no exceptions.
There are two grammatical genders: masculine and feminine.
Words are modified according to whether they are masculine or feminine, and whether they are singular and plural. Additionally, conjugations and modifications take into account of whether the root word or stem end either begins or ends in a vowel or a consonant.
Syntax follows the SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) word order, with adjectives coming after the nouns they belong to.
