Cezeqilangin (Adjectives)
TUA: adjectives follows noun
TUA: the adjective 'naz', good, precedes the noun, in lexical, in greetings. (naz zuma, good evening vs. anzuma naz, a good evening)
Cemozjylangin (Verbs)
TUA: negation before verb (Delang is SVO language, but allows other syntaxes, most common SOV)
- Cemozjylangen aublige wetriwelau frefretexi: weflauw; postflauw; preflauw.
(In Delang verbs are inflected in 3 tenses: present, past and future.) - Dewelau weflauw in Delang dewelau baz. Postflauw i preflauw naunj weflauw qonstri ona depre fre-, aunj postflauw, i depre gro-, aunj preflauw, pre demozjylangin mesti.
(Present tense is the base tense in Delang. The other tenses are created by adding prefixes to the verb, fre- for past tense and gro- for future tense.)

(Past)Preflauw
(Future)groqlin

(Compound tenses can be created by using the prefixes as "articles" to the verb, forming complex tenses like future-present, future-future or even future-past. The time indicator should be placed where the compound tense starts, and usually not in front of the verb.)
