About Llagz Classification and Mutual Intelligibility:
Llagz is the most commonly spoken language in the Llagz-Amam language family. It is well known, and the base vocabulary of Llagz is useable in most of its various dialects and descendants. If a speaker of any Llagz-related language is in a room with a speaker of a different Llagz-related language, 'classical' or 'standard' Llagz is the most predictable way of communicating with the other speaker. Because of this, Llagz, most often a Kutyama dialect, is often taught as a second language.

Grammar:
- Llagz is inflectional, though is the least inflectional and synthetic of all Llagz-Amam dialects. Verbs are marked for person in the Kutyama dialects, but are often not inflected in most Piguta dialects.
- There is a distal-past, and near-past distinction which is shared across all dialects, and Amam-branch  Amam languages.
- Nouns are marked based on their role in the sentence, and decline for dual, singular, and plural.
- There is no grammatical gender in Llagz, Amam, or any descendent languages or dialects.
