The political history of Hendalarsk means that there are many strikingly distinct dialects of Hendalarskisch across the country, most of which have survived 19th-century efforts at standardisation intact; some scholars<ref>Scholz, Ulla, 'Mundáten: Spragen óne Wafen?', ''Herne: eine henalaskische Spragzeitschrift'' 104:1 (1976), pp. 143-97.</ref> have even argued that these dialects are themselves all closely-related languages, with "Standard Hendalarskisch" simply the most prestigious language of a so-called "Central Gothic" cluster. Most Hendalarskara scholars nevertheless favour a "dialect continuum" interpretation of Hendalarskisch.

Hendalarskisch is an inflected language, with four cases for nouns, pronouns, and adjectives (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative); three genders (masculine, feminine, neuter); and two numbers (singular, plural). It has strong and weak verbs. The majority of its vocabulary derives from the Gothic branch of Occidental, although it has also seen substantial influence from non-Occidental languages such as Khunyer and Nünsyi - a number of proposals argue that Proto-Nünsyi forms a substrate within Hendalarskisch<ref>e.g. Gottorp, Ludwig-Adam, 'Urnünsyi: Dír henalaskische Unaschíd', ''Herne: Herne: eine henalaskische Spragzeitschrift'' 62:3 (1934), pp. 526-81.</ref> - and latterly other non-Gothic Occidental languages, such as [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] and [[Fhasen]].

To give a flavour of Hendalarskisch vocabulary, in both its similarities and its differences from the other Gothic languages, the below table shows all Hendalarskisch words for the full 207-word Szabolcs list (a list named after its founder, Khunyer linguist Szabolcs Anton, which is employed primarily in lexicostatistics).
