Where grammar is concerned Your Name Language is an isolating language, which means that it does not rely on inflectional morphology to express such notions as tense and or plurality.

Proxemics and Kinesics Proxemics; Intimate (loved ones): My culture is a very intimate culture; they all rely on one another making them extremely close. They go by the policy “what's mine is yours” so the only appropriate proxemics for a culture like mine would be 2 feet or less then that when it comes to people, they know and love. Personal (conversations between people of relatively equal status): For personal, my people are a small tight knit tribe so they pretty much all know each other on a personal level, I would say that the average person in my culture stays at about 3 to 4 feet apart but are also very aware when it comes to personal space. Social (business and social transactions/interactions): When it comes to business interactions, say that my people are meeting people that are from somewhere else, they will still be friendly but also be more aware of personal spacing, they would also keep social interactions to about 4 feet because even though they are aware of personal space they are bad at following it. Public (used by people with official status, or in interactions between people of unequal status): My people are all about respect. Again, like with the Polynesian people they treat everyone with the same respect and same kindness that they would with someone they do know.

Kinesics;

Gesture used in greetings: Touching foreheads and or shaking forearm to forearm, no hand grabbing! And you always greet someone with a smile Gesture used in taking one’s leave: a slight bow or a kiss on the cheek Additional Gesture (don’t forget to include what the gesture indicates): For elders you take their hand and bring it to your forehead, to show aggression there will be a raised eyebrows and a snarled lip, for submissiveness when someone with statues comes in you lower your eyes to show respect, and lastly when asking someone's blessing (typically an elder) your knees and bow.

Marking differences social differences within my people would be to divided language by age. This would mean that all the older more traditional people in my tribe would speak in older more “dead” language then the younger generations. They, (the elders) would use words that seem foreign to the younger people because the new slang has evolved so drastically that even youngsters have special words to use when speaking to elders, so they don’t come off as disrespectful. I have also decided that when it comes to language that my tribe uses words from the Hawaiian and Samoan culture and has basically made it their own hybrid version. So as a greeting they would use the Hawaiian word for welcome witch is E komo mai, whereas for a taboo work the term little dog in Samoan (tamai taifau), Is the biggest insult you can say to someone because not only are you calling them out of there name but you are also saying that they are so beneath you that they walk on four legs and bark. As for a farewell the Hawaiian term for “until we meet again” is just beautiful so they will use that so, “A hui hou” or until we meet again.
