Phonology
Writing
Ellison elected to use the Roman alphabet, albeit with some modifications, to represent the sounds of his language.
Grammar
Bikalyo is a VSO language. Verbs conjugate for mood, tense, and positive/negative, rather like some aspects of the Japanese verb. Postpositions can indicate the functions of some words, if such a distinction is needed.
