Beyond this, the order of the elements in a sentence is relatively free. However, because the topic/subject is typically found in sentence-initial position and the verb is typically in sentence-final position, Japanese is considered an SOV language. A closely-related quality of the language is that it is broadly head-final. Kannada Kashmiri Like German and Dutch, the Indo-Aryan language Kashmiri is SOV combined with V2 word order. The non-finite verb (infinitive or participle) remains in final position, but the finite (i.e. inflected) part of the verb appears in second position. Simple verbs look like SVO, whereas auxiliated verbs are discontinuous and adhere to this pattern: Given that Kashmiri is a V2 language, if the word tsũũţh 'apple' comes first then the subject kuur 'girl' must follow the auxiliary chhi 'is': tsũũţh chhi kuur khyevaan [Lit. "Apples is girl eating."] Also, the word order changes depending on whether the phrase is in a main clause or in certain kinds of dependent clause. For instance, in relative clauses, the word order is SOVAux: Kazakh Like in Japanese, OSV is possible too. (Кітапті Дастан оқыды.) Korean –가/–이 -ga/-i is a particle that indicates the subject. –를/–을 -(r)eul is a particle that indicates the object. 나 na "I" is changed to 내– nae- before –가 -ga, and the verb stem 열– yeol- is changed to 여– yeo- before –ㄴ다 -nda. Kurdish (Kurmanci) Kurdish (Sorani) Kyrgyz Latin Classical Latin was an inflected language and had a very flexible word order and sentence structure, but the most usual word order in formal prose was SOV. Again, there are multiple valid translations (such as "a slave") that do not affect the overall analysis. Malayalam Pustakam̥ + -e = pustakatte (പുസ്തകത്തെ) Manchu Marathi Meitei Mongolian Nepali Odia Ossetian Pashto Persian Portuguese Portuguese is an SVO language, but it has some SOV constructs. In case of proclisis: When using a temporal adverb, optionally with the negative: There is an infix construction for the future and conditional tenses: SVO form: Eu hei-de fazê-lo amanhã or eu farei o mesmo amanhã Punjabi Punjabi may be characterised as following a Subject—Object—Verb typology overall, but some flexibility is permitted, and this tendency does not follow in sentences involving personal pronouns. Examples are shown here in both Shahmukhi (top, right-to-left) and Gurmukhi (bottom, left-to-right). The word forms used reflect those typical of spoken language. For Shahmukhi, vocalised forms with vowel diacritics have been used to
