| SVO |
| Definition:
In the classification of languages (i.e., linguistic typology), SVO denotes a type of language whose sentence structure — for the most part — follows the pattern subject-verb-object.
Note: More than 75% of the world's languages are SVO languages — e.g., English, Finnish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, Bulgarian, Swahili, Hausa, Yoruba, Javanese, Malay, Latvian, and Indonesian. |
