The full letter name is used for declining, and the short form (omit the parenthesized part) is used for spelling out words. The alphabetical order is as follows:

==Phonology==  

===Consonants===

|+ '''{{PAGENAME}} consonants'''

! colspan="2" |

| '''f, ph''' /f/

| '''s''' /s/

| ('''h''' /h/)

|-

|rowspan="2"|'''v''' /v~ʋ~w/

| '''z, (j)''' /z/

*The letter '''x''' is used for the common sequence /ks/.  

*'''h''' /h/ occurs only in loanwords.

*The spellings '''th, ch''' occur in proper names and loans.

;Notes

*/ɾ/ is normally alveolar [ɾ] or retracted alveolar [ɾ̠], but may be reduced to [ɹ~ɻ] when word-final. It is pronounced as [ʀ~ʁ] in some dialects.

*/s, z/ are laminal alveolar in standard Clofabosin.

*/v/ is a labiodental fricative [v] or approximant [ʋ].

**[w] is an allophone of /v/ after velars /k, g/. It is transliterated '''qu, gu''' in this case.

*In colloquial speech intervocalic /b/ is often deleted or lenited to [w]: ''clofabosin'' becomes [klofaosi] or [klofawosi]. The ending ''-mab'' is also often pronounced [ma].

===Vowels===

*/a/ is central [ä].

==Dialectology==

*In the colloquial Streptomycin accent /ɾC/ sequences assimilate into geminates [Cː]: ''riconercept'' [ɾikonekkept] 'goodbye'. /n, t, d/ in this position become apical [ɳ, ʈ, ɖ].

*/z/ may be pronounced [j].

===Dodellian accent===

*v = [w]

*z = [ɦ] or dropped entirely

*e o = [ɛ ɔ]

==Morphology==

Clofabian nouns can take one of many case clitics, which are not true suffixes. Suffixes for "cases" other than the nominative and the accusative are attached to the combining form of the noun. Plurals are marked with ''-(a)zin'', ''-(a)z(o)-'' (e.g. ''amp·in'' person, ''ampazin'' 'people'; ''acti·n'' 'day', ''actizin'' 'days'); pluralization is usually reserved for animates, and are never used with numbers or quantifiers.

|-

!colspan="3" | Present subject affixes

Analogously the past tense may be inflected as follows:

|-

!colspan="3" | Past subject affixes

The subjunctive is used like the infinitive and imperative in other languages (e.g. ''stilocamab!'' 'Sing!'). It can also be used to indicate uncertainty, like "may" or "might".

For realis forms (e.g. indicative, attributive, "when", "while", conjunctive), the negative marker is ''-fo-'': ''sabafovir'' 'he does not write'. For irrealis forms (e.g. subjunctive, conditional, optative, verbal noun), the negative marker is ''-tu(mo)-'': ''sabatumab!'', ''sabatumumab!'' or ''sabatumomab!'' means 'Don't write!'

**Interrogative: usually ''-mab tiuxetanupel?'' or ''-matixapel?''

**''-tumab tiuxetan'' means 'must not'.

*'may' (permission) uses ''-mab vedotin'' (spoken Clofabosin: ''-mavertin'')

**''-tumab vedotin'' means 'doesn't have to'.

*'is worth' uses ''-xaban''

*"regardless of" uses ''-mab elucaine''.

The desiderative uses the following suffixes:

|-

!  !! Indicative !! Subjunctive

Predicate nouns can fill in for both ''cytavir'' (copula) and ''keravir'' (to exist). The predicative is formed by replacing the final -n in the nominative case of a noun with the following suffixes (which can be omitted):

|-

|-

!  !! Indicative !! Desiderative

*''clo-'' = 'very'

*''guan-'' = comparative (optional when there is a comparandum, which is marked with ''-conast'')
