| '''Ilya''' is an agglutinating language. Its vocabulary consists of basic roots (that tend to be -CVC-) which can be extended into different parts of speech, their meaning changed or modified, with various affixes. '''Ilya''' has an extremely regular grammar, with very few exceptions to its rules. Sentences are made up of one or more phrases. Each phrase consists of a verb (optionally followed by modifying particles) and a subject (optionally followed by modifying particles).
