Well, I'm sure we can find differences :) . For instance in the morphology: Azak
has quite a restrictive but original root syllable structure: (C)(V)C (yes, root
syllables have mandatorily one consonnant, but one optional vowel before, and
one optional consonnant before), with the additional constraint that only CC
clusters are allowed, and only medially. It means also that all root end in a
consonnant. As for suffixes, they all are of VC or VCVC for only :) .

As for the writing system, the roots are written with a square-like alphabet,
while the affixes are written in a kind of round-shaped syllabary (kind of,
because in fact each suffiw has its own symbol, which means that each symbol
stands for a VC or VCVC sequence :)) ).

Now if you tell me that Ajuk has the same structure I'm gonna be very scared :)
