Word Orders in Different Languages
The twelve most widely-spoken languages in the world have been boldfaced for your convenience.
I'm not a linguist: most of these classifications are based on textbooks, web sites, sample grammars, and simple texts. Several of these languages have special rules that allow them to exhibit more than one word order, depending on how you use the words: I've attempted to file these languages by the most prevalent word order.
/msg me with additions or corrections: if your language isn't on this list, I want to know where it belongs, and so does E2.
