 +In languages with **//Nominative-Accusative//** morphosyntactic alignment the [[syntax_subject|subject]] is distinguished from [[syntax_object|object]] in any sentence despite the transitivity of [[grammar_verb|verb]] in [[syntax_predicate|predicate]]. This distinction may be expressed by [[morphology]] and/or syntax. Majority of Indo-European languages are Nominative-Accusative, and Nûrlâm as well.
  
 +===== Declarative sentences =====
 +**//Declarative sentences//** are the most common type of sentences. They inform about some event or may describe an object. Declarative sentences do not require any action or response from listener.

This distinction may be expressed by [[morphology]] and/or syntax. Majority of Indo-European languages are Nominative-Accusative. Standard Nûrlâm is also Nominative language. +The typical word order in standard Nûrlâm is Subject--Verb--Object (SVO). //Indirect// objects are placed **after** //direct// objects. Nouns in locative or marginal [[grammar_case|case]] are not objects but usually an [[syntax_adverbials|adverbials]], so they don't follow this word order.
