About Northern Tazuro

- mildly fusional, active-stative (more specifically fluid-S), head-initial (strictly VSO)
- verb tenses and moods are marked by particles
- a simple but annoying derivation system that makes me scream into the void every time I try to add more words
Southern Tazuro is better (but even more underdeveloped and abandoned)- grammar article: CLICK
