===Lexical comparison===
==Phonology==


Due to Spirevo being quite an isolated country in Internatia, Spirevan does not have many resemblances to any language other than Suonic, another language that originated from the Suon tribe of the Kingdom of Alaikem, which is now a Spirevan State, and English, which is spoken in neighboring Pebbleland.

==Grammar==
;A a

Spirevan is an inflected language. Nouns and pronouns are inflected for number (singular or plural); adjectives, for the number and gender (masculine, feminine or genderless) of their nouns; personal pronouns, for person, number, gender, and case; and verbs, for mood, tense, aspect and the person and number of their subjects. Case is primarily marked using word order and prepositions.
