"), loanwords and non-finite verbal forms with the gerund prefix cese- (Tsukida 2005: 292, 297).

In the Truku dialect stress is on the final syllable resulting in loss of first vowel in CVCCV and CVCCVC structures, for example compare: qduriq > pqdriqun, lqlaqi > lqlqian.

In Taroko, up to six onset consonants are possible: CCCCCVC(VC), for example: tn'ghngkawas, mptrqdug, pngkrbkan, dmptbrinah.

As other Austronesian languages, Seediq uses reduplication to convey grammatical functions, such as pluralization and reciprocal verb form derivation.

Seediq verbs have three types of voices, which are in turn inflected for mood or aspect (Tsukida 2005:313).

Like many other Formosan and Philippine languages, Seediq nouns and verbs behave similarly.

The word order of Seediq is verb–object–subject (VOS), where S corresponds to the argument marked with absolutive case.

Unlike Tagalog and many other Philippine languages, there are no linkers connecting the heads and modifiers.
