 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. 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]].

 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.  The typical word order in standard Nûrlâm is Subject--Verb--Object (SVO). //Indirect// objects are placed **after** //direct// objects.
