conlangs1-9 Exercise 2: Grammar Types ====================================== Language Type Order Evidence ---------- -------------- ----- ------------------------------------------ Esperanto Agglutinative SVO Separate endings: -j plural, -n object Klingon Agglutinative OVS Chains of suffixes, each with one job Toki Pona Isolating SVO No endings; particles li and e do the work Meren Agglutinative SOV Separate suffixes: -ra, -n, -sa, -ko Closest in design: Esperanto and Meren, which are both agglutinative with simple, regular suffixes (-j / -ra for plural, -n for the object). They differ in word order (SVO against SOV). Klingon is also agglutinative, but its OVS order sets it apart from the other three.
