Introduction:

'''In classical Latin, the word order is fairly free due to the declensions. This allows for more expression with a minimal impact on comprehensibility. In Lingula, similar to the Romance languages, word order is S-V-O.'''

'''In the Romance languages, adjectives are generally placed after the nouns they modify. In Lingula, the pattern is the same. The adjectives do not have to follow their nouns however that is their neutral position. Possessive adjectives come before the noun.'''
