Grammar & Punctuation
Grammar
Yisdorian is read from left to right, like English. However, it once had a unique sentence structure which went like this:
(Subject)(Compound)(Verb)(Object)
That sentence structure is no longer used in society, but there are temples that do hold this type of reading, and it is sometimes used among people. Because of the language's phonology, it was difficult for humans to even speak the language. The Dai'Behm Clan could easily speak it because it was the language of their clan.
