This is the latest attempt at a comprehensive description of Ayeri, a constructed-language project started in 2003, as of October 2018. By approaching the discussion of Ayeri’s grammar from a scholarly angle, it is one of the most thoroughly documented constructed languages grown from the internet’s language-creation community to date.

A Grammar of Ayeri provides an overview of the language’s phonemic inventory and an analysis of its phonotactics, an in-depth description of its writing system, as well as a detailed description of its morphology and morphosyntax. Interstitial chapters try to shed a light on Ayeri from a typological perspective, both regarding morphology and syntax. All discussions contain fully-glossed examples for illustration, especially to help with the more technical parts.
Thanks to print-on-demand solutions, A Grammar of Ayeri is also available as a physical book:
