The Inote language is a simple agglutinating language. It was originally Sectori's n00blang, but underwent a major grammar revision in late April 2006.

Phonology/Orthography

Inote should be written with their own alphabet, untypeable. For convenience, this article will be transcribed in the Latin script.

Nominal Morphology

Nouns agglutinate to show their case: nominative, accusative, genitive, or dative. These cases show a noun's function in a sentence. The nominative case marks the subject of a sentence, the one who completes a verb action. The accusative case marks the direct object of a sentence, the one who is acted upon by the subject. The dative case marks the indirect object of a sentence, the one for whom a verb is done. The genitive case marks possession. In addition to their normal functions, the accusative and dative cases function as the objects of certain prepositions. Which case a preposition causes will be indicated in the preposition's definition.

Noun Declension

All nouns decline the same way: by adding one of seven suffixes to their end to mark case. Those eight suffixes are as follows:

|Singular| |Plural
|-ø | |-(e)n
|-(n)a | |-(a)n
|-(n)i | |-(i)n
|-(n)o | |-(o)n
