Vilani Grammar and Glossary explains the Vilani language. Its rules show how to write the Vilani language in a standardized way. Theoretically, a person could read and speak Vilani based on these rules. This is a technical document. It attempts to use linguistic terms correctly; this means the text is quite dense. Don’t be surprised if the terminology gets challenging. Most pages have examples intended to help illustrate concepts.
The document is divided up as follows. First, the alphabet is introduced. The major portion of the text comes next, where syntax is explained. It starts with the sentence structure, and then moves to verbs, nouns, pronouns, adjectives, and numbers. Next come semantic considerations, especially with verbs and nouns, but conjunctions, discourse, appropriateness, and knowledge are also touched on. At the end comes a glossary of about 5,000 terms.
