Infobox, etc.
The sidebar at the top-right of the page contains fields for "Type" and "Alignment." Currently you have these filled in with "Indo-European" and "SOV" respectively. Type actually refers to how words are built. The options are typically analyic/isolating (which is the use of very little to no inflection, which is conjugation of verbs and declension of nouns), agglutinative (which is the use of basic suffixes and prefixes), fusional (which is modification of the root word, like in Romance languages' verb conjugations), and polysynthetic (which is when nouns become incorporated into the verb). Most Indo-European languages are fusional, though there are exceptions (English tends to be analytic-ish and spoken French is polysynthetic [don't tell the French though]). Alignment refers to a complex relationship between how nouns and verbs relate to word-order and morphology. Usually alignment is reserved until a conlanger becomes more advanced, but nearly all Indo-European languages are Nominative-Accusative, so it's safe for you to just enter that.

Sorry if that's a lot to take in! Feel free to ask any questions you have. I'm happy to answer.

An additional note, I thought I might inform you that "Caspian" is also used to refer to the Northeast Caucasian family of languages, which includes Chechen. Not saying you can't or shouldn't use the term, just thought I might let you know in case you didn't know already.

Happy conlanging, and drop by the chatroom occasionally! You might learn a thing or two. :D [This has been a Public Service Announcement from your Friendly Neighbourhood Despot.] 04:55, February 28, 2015 (UTC)
