The Reference Grammar of Toaq (or refgram) was published in September 2021, and can be found here. It describes the grammar of Toaq 2021.
Changes since early-2021 Toaq
These are changes since (Toaq 2017 + Changes since Public Beta). This overview is mostly relevant if you were already speaking Toaq when the refgram came out.)
- New segmentation, no more even tone
- Introduction of Type I and Type II adverbials
- Thematic role words like puoq and chou
- Names for all the letters
- aq must be used whenever available: an anaphoric pronoun in its skips over the would-be aq referent.
- Numbers are split up and have special serialization rules
- "Exhibitor slots" are officialized as "genitival serials"
- Particles can be multisyllabic now, allowing for...
- mıru, "Mx.", with same grammar as mı
- tuq, tushı are quantifiers now
- mao, juaq are KU-class particles now
- fı, go, cu are "demoted to experimental"
- Warning/permitting/agreement-seeking illocutions
