Notes

General

1. Natalician is a V2 language, most of the time SVO but in case of intransitive verbs (lack os object), the verb can preceed the subject. It follows the adjective-noun order and uses only prepositions.
2. Natalician is a pro-drop, null subject language, there is no restrictions on including inexplicit subjects which can be dropped.
