Griushkoent uses its own alphabetic script that has a regular phonemic orthography, which means that 1 grapheme corresponds to exactly 1 phoneme. This script has components of only straight lines without curves or dots. It is written from left to right, downwards. The table above shows the romanised transcriptions.
Grammar
The parts of speech of griushkoent include nouns, verbs, adjectives and particles. The affixations encourage interconversions of word classes with suffixes, while morphological derivations are done with prefixes. The affixes can usually be re-used across classes: There are passive nouns, passive verbs and passive adjectives, eventhough such voice category is often related to verbs.
Noun
Nouns appearing as core words are able to add these suffixes.
The empty box suffix does nothing, whereby it becomes a process or abstraction noun when interrupted by an imperative or passive suffix respectively.
| Noun | Suffix |
|---|---|
| Source | e |
| Possessive | ae |
| Empty box | o |
| Collective plural | s |
Verb
Verbs appearing as core words are able to have these suffixes.
The 3 triggers themselves must be crafted from a stable combination of susceptible affixes.
| Action | Suffix |
|---|---|
| Verb class | a |
| Passive voice | n |
| Circumstantial voice | d |
| Phasal TAM | t |
| Imperative mood | r |
Adjective
Adjectives appearing as core words have the +i suffix.
Adverbs are considered as adjectives in griushkoent.
Particle
Anything that is not a noun, verb or adjective is a particle in griushkoent.
This class includes prepositions and conjunctions, as well as bound and unbound particles.
Syntax
SVOI structure is regularly used. In the passive voice, OV(S)(I) structure is used. With the circumstantial voice, the IV structure is utilised.
Vocabulary
Here is a griushkoent passage, with the romanised transcription and its translation. Audio sample.

- I sit and write today's entry under the canopy of a swaying palm tree. What a tender illusion. As the palm sways, I can't help but think it is observing me and reacting to my moods. Somehow this island lives. It lives in a way we human inhabitants are not yet aware of, and it watches. It watches, perhaps through sensory organs in the plants, perhaps in ways I can't imagine. If I could imagine how this place lives, it would be the imaginings of a dream or a fairy tale gone awry. I do know this--as this dream continues, it is quickly becoming a nightmare. And still the island watches and waits.
