==Typological structure==
Pı̇ħ is mostly a morphologically '''isolating''' language. 

In an isolating languages, semantical or grammatical morphemes are almost coincident with single words, and they do not change or add any flecting affix. Moreover, words can have more than one grammatical role in a sentence:
 <b>hu̇p</b>
 <small>build (verb) – construction (noun) – building (adjective)</small>

The basic word order is essentially '''SOV''' (''{{color|green|Subject}}-{{color|blue|Object}}-{{color|red|Verb}}''). 

 <b>{{color|green|qɛ̣h}} {{color|blue|mu̇h}} {{color|red|su̇h njạ}}</b>
 <small>{{color|green|(the) person}} {{color|red|sees}} {{color|blue|(a) cow}}</small>

The entire system is set according to typological parameters of the ''modifier-head'' (or ''head-final'') type:
*''object - verb''
*''noun - postposition''
*''adjective - noun''
*''relative clause - noun''
