Roshterian is a head-marking polysynthetic language. Verbs take both subject and object affixes (bipersonality occurs in Thensarian and other Quihum languages as well). Complex morphophonemic alternations are common, reminiscent of [[Old Tíogall]] or Old Irish. Where Roshterian deviates from the Cuadhlabh (or even Talmic) typology are features such as obviation, noun incorporation and evidential marking, making Roshterian resemble Native American languages such as Blackfoot or Ojibwe. | Roshterian is a head-marking polysynthetic language.
