Phonology
Consonants:

 labial-velar stop

 Vowels: People that spoke the Lau Language uses a distinct grammar that sets them apart from the other languages that are spoken in the chain of islands. The Lau alphabet includes vowels such as a, e, i, o, u. These vowels can be long or short depending on the word. If there is a long sound, then it is represented by doubling the vowel. The Lau grammar does not include closed syllables, instead, every word ends with a vowel.

Morphology
Stems: amasi- is a transitive stem meaning "have mercy on". But when kwai- is added to amasi, then the meaning turns in "be merciful". It is said that the affixation of kwai- does not appear to be a productive process: only 19 pairs of verbs with this valence-decreasing alternation are attested.

Grammar
Nouns: A noun is used to describe people, places, or things. Those who can speak the Lau Language use uses their nouns in a special type of way. To clarify, there is a certain noun you would use depending on what you're trying to say. For body parts, lima means hand but if you're going to say "my hand" then you would use limgagu. For positions phrases, you would use buri for "behind" but if you were to say behind me, then you would use burigu. In addition to nouns, there are independent nouns and verbal nouns. Na is the only independent noun that is used in the Lau language. It is only added to nouns when one is expressing relationships, or it is added to a number denoting quantity, also known as a cardinal number, to form a number that tells the position of something in a list known as a ordinal number.

Pronouns: A pronoun is a word that can function by itself as a noun phrase. In other words, it replaces a noun in a sentence. In the Lau grammar, pronouns may be used as those suffixed to nouns substantive and denoting possession, as those suffixed to a verb or as the subject of a verb. When a pronoun is used to denote some sort of possession, they are added to the end of a word, more specifically a noun, to form a derivative. These are only attached to a certain class of nouns such as anything that is in close relationship to the person who takes, occupies or holds something without necessarily having ownership. When a pronoun is suffixed to a verb, a second object appears in the suffixed pronoun singular and plural third. Lastly, when a pronoun is used as the subject of a verb such as i, there are multiple ways you can use it. One way is when the suffixed pronoun cannot be added to a word, the longer forms of i are used as possessive pronouns. Shorter forms of i are always used with the forms of i because they cannot be used by themselves as the subject.

Verbs: A verb is a word used to describe an action, state or occurrence of something. If one were to prefix the verbal particles, then any word can be used as a verb. In other words, they can be joined to governing pronouns of first persons singular and second persons singular. These verbal particles are ka and ko. Ka can be used at the same time when someone is talking about something in the present and in the future tense. On the other hand, Ko can be used when someone is talking in the present and future tense but it cannot be used at the same time. Moreover, Ko is used only with the personal pronouns such as he, she, him, her, it, we.

Adverbs: An adverb is words or phrases that modifies an adjective, verb or other adverbs. Most adverbs that are use in the Lau language are mostly just nouns and verbs and occasionally some adjectives. Adverbs are used when someone is talking about a place, a time, and manner.

Adjectives: An adjective is a word or phrase naming an attribute.These are used in forms of verbs but some adjectives can be used without the verbal particles. Adjectival prefixes that are prefixed to verbs includes a, ma, tata, m. To clarify, the a is prefixed to verbs to form participles: luga to loose; Ma denotes condition: lingi to pour

Prepositions: There is this thing called the verb like prepositions which uses object morphology the same way verbs do. The verb-like prepositions index their complements with object suffixes, which are otherwise used to index objects on verbs. The noun-like prepositions index their complements with personal suffixes, which are otherwise used to index possessors on inalienably possessed nouns. In one way, suffixes can be used anaphorically and nonanaphorically.

Numerals: If any number surpasses ten, then they are expressed in tens. In quick counting, the initial e is taken out except for eta. If one were to say a number above ten, then mana is used to describe that the number is above ten. For example, aqala mana fai stands for fourteen. If the number was above one hundred, then too is used. For example, tangalau fai aqala mana fai stands for one hundred and forty four.
