The most interesting part of Bashistanic shall be the grammar. In many different ways it shows how important the Holy Bashi is for the Bashistanic people:
- The word Bashâ (and its forms) are one of the few words that begin with a capital letter. They are even written with capital if they take prefixes, example: mâqBashâ.
- There is no grammatical number system, but rather nouns decline on how much the Bashi likes them.
- Verbs conjugate (among other things) according to Bashi approval of what is done.
- Stress is always on the first syllable, but if Bashâ or one of its forms take prefixes, the stress remains on the first syllable of Bashâ: mâqBashâ [meɪkˈbaʃeɪ].
