Phonology
Evonnian has the (C)(C)V(C)(C) syllable structure.

Vowels and diphthongs
Evonnian has a total of 14 vowels and five diphthongs. The six diphthongs are: ia̯, əɪ̯, ɔɪ̯, ɛo̯, and ɯi̯. If any of the ə, ʊ, ɔ, and iː (called special vowels) vowels occur in a two-syllable word, the stress will be relocated to the syllable that they are a part of. However, the i vowel does not relocate the stress. If these vowels occur two times in a word, the first syllable with these vowels will have primary stress, and the next syllable will have secondary stress. There cannot be more than two special vowels in a single word.

Consonants
Both Northern and Southern Evonnian have 25 consonants. WIP

Grammar
Evonnian has a Subject-Verb-Object order. Evonnian articles are used before the noun. In formal writing, the articles can go before place names (ex: sven London, the London). However, casual conversations usually omit this method. Sentences without articles are considered rude in Evonnia.

Generally, Evonnian has 11 punctuation marks: full stop, comma, question mark, exclamation mark, round brackets, colon, apostrophe, quotation marks, ellipsis marks, hyphen, and dash. The dash is used for shortened sentences, such as "ovka — zdek" (she is a teacher). Shortened sentences are very context-dependent. The full stop is always placed at the end of a declarative sentence, indicating a long break (the speaker stopping for one or two seconds). The comma can be used to separate multiple items in a list (ex: hvenkor, vartov, gaprovk). The word "and" (Evonnian: zec ) is not required and is usually omitted. Commas also indicate shorter breaks when read, with the exception of lists not applying as breaks. Question marks are placed at the end of question sentences.
