Anyone who wishes to design the grammar for Tazhi should, of course, be considered to be in a state of sin. The intention is not to design Tazhi grammar, but to allow it to emerge through usage.
The grammar of Tazhi does not exist yet. But when and if it comes into existence it will not exist to dictate how Tazhi must be used, but rather to describe how Tazhi is used.
Of course there has to be some basic grammar in order for Tazhi to get started, and anyone who wants to can add gramatical rules to Tazhi. Those rules that are used will survive. Those that are not used will fade away.
Initially, the only "rules" that exists are those that are embodied in whatever has been written in Tazhi. So far that consists of a few lines in the first lesson in conversational Tazhi. If and when the language begins to evolve, those sentences may become obsolete, or outmoded, and be consigned to the scrap heap. Nothing is written in stone in Tazhi, and everything is subject to change. Today's "proper" Tazhi may be next week's "archaic" Tazhi, and next year's "ancient" Tashi.
The hope is that Tazhi grammar and vocabulary will evolve, and eventually settle down and reach a stage of "maturity". If and when that stage is reached Tazhi may well have aquired the expressive power to be a contender for a universal language. If that happens it will be neither a "natlang" nor a "conlang", but an artificially evolved language.
