An interesting feature of Teonaht is that the end of the sentence is the place of greatest emphasis, as what is mentioned last is uppermost in the mind.{{fact|date=March 2013}} The language has a "Law of Detachment" whereby suffixes can be moved to the beginnings of words for emphasis and even attach onto other words such as pronouns.{{fact|date=March 2013}} Teonaht is often cited as an example of the genre in articles on the world of Internet-hosted amateur conlanging.[1][2][3][4] Notes1. ^https://web.archive.org/web/20060626235245/http://www.rochester.edu/College/ENG/newsletter/conlang.html 2. ^Sprechen sie ELVISH?: 3/ 6/ 2004{{Dead link|date=June 2018|bot=InternetArchiveBot|fix-attempted=no}} 3. ^Babel's modern architects - Los Angeles Times 4. ^Conley, Tim and Stephen Cain (2006).
