Modern English grammar is the result of a gradual change from a typical Indo-European dependent marking pattern with a rich inflectional morphology and relatively free word order, to a mostly inversion with some verbs.
32.
The second pattern involves a sentence initial negative particle that is often attached to the sentence s subject, and the last pattern simply involves a sentence initial negative particle without any change in inflectional morphology or a determiner / complementizer.

Central Atlas Tamazight grammar has many features typical of Afro-Asiatic languages, including extensive apophony in both the derivational and inflectional morphology, VSO typology, the causative morpheme / s /, and use of the status constructus.
34.
It contains definite synthetic features, such as the bound morphemes mark tense, number ( plurality ), gender etc . However, though Odia language has a larger number of derivational affixes, it has virtually no inflectional morphology.
35.
Aleut inflectional morphology is greatly reduced from the system that must have been present in Proto-Eskimo Aleut, and where the Eskimo languages mark a verb's arguments morphologically, Aleut relies more heavily on a fixed word order.
36.
Similarly to the case of English, modern Danish grammar is the result of a gradual change from a typical Indo-European dependent marking pattern with a rich inflectional morphology and relatively free word order, to a mostly accusative morphosyntactic alignment.
37.
Ma a and Cushitic share some phonological units ( e . g . the voiceless lateral fricative, the voiceless glottal stop, and the voiceless velar fricative that do not occur in Bantu ), syntactic structures, derivational processes, and a feature of inflectional morphology.
38.
Other linguists link Albanian with Greek and Warnow argued that Albanian can be placed at a variety of points within the Indo-European tree with equally good fit; determining its correct placement is hampered by the loss of much of its former diagnostic inflectional morphology and vocabulary.
39.
Some examples of affective forms are : diminutives ( for example, diminutive affixes in Indo-European and Amerindian languages indicate sympathy, endearment, emotional closeness, or antipathy, condescension, and emotional distance ); ideophones and onomatopoeias; quantifiers, and comparative structures; as well as inflectional morphology.

If anything can be said about the lost Paleo-European languages on the basis of what we find in the attested ones Basque, the Caucasian languages and Etruscan we can say that the Paleo-European were synthetic languages with rich inflectional morphology and diverse morphosyntactic alignments ( Basque and most Caucasian languages are ergative, Georgian split between accusative and active / stative, Etruscan is accusative ).
