These language are unified by vocabulary, word-order, grammatical cases, grammatical genders, clusivity, typology, phonology, and morphosyntactic alignment.
There are no tones. Consonants five places of articulation and four manners for obstruents. Vowels are the five-vowel system, but all available in short and long.

== Anthropology ==
# The presence of verbs that follow their objects rather than precede them. When subjects are present, the will generally precede the objects.
# The placing in object position of goals of verbs of motion, predicate nominals and adjectives, adverbial complements, and infinitival complements of catenatives.
# The use of verbal auxiliaries that follow rather than precede the main verb with which they are used
# The marking of syntactic functions of nominal elements by means of postpositions, as opposed to prepositions
# Patterns of word order in which adjectives, genitive phrases, demonstratives, and numerals generally precede the noun they modify
# Qualifiers precede adjectives
# Causative verbs
# conjunctive particles
# explicator compound verbs
# dative constructions
# no "to have"
# no articles
# case
# clusivity
# two genders

== Phonology ==
* No tone
* Five places of articulation and four manners for obstruents
