olo is a synthetic, agglutinative VSO language

Phonological rules

A word can start with a vowell or a consonant, but all consonants must be followed by a vowell. Occasionally a syllable will conclude with a glottal stop.

(C)V(')

There are only two exceptions to this rule: 

1) the prejorative form of any word will end in -t 

2) any word can end with n, which has no particular meaning.

(C)V(n/')

If two instances of the same vowell appear in sequence they are separated by a glottal stop.

Ex. ma'a

Glottal stops can appear after any vowell.

Ex ta'

Some suffixes are always prefaced by a glottal stop: 'i, 'a

j / y is never a vowell. 

Capitalization

There is no capitalization in olo. 

Proper Nouns

Proper nouns are surrounded with square braces, similar to the usage of cartouches in hieroglyphics.
