+Jovlish exhibits [[w:Subject–object–verb word order|subject–object–verb]] (SOV) word order by default, though in practice its word order is relatively flexible:
+* in declarative clauses, SOV is by far the most common word order.
+** <span style="background-color:#ffa5a5">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|Onton}}</span> <span style="background-color:#a6aeff">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|es}}</span> <span style="background-color:#adffa6">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|bók}}</span> <span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|eza}}</span> — ''<span style="background-color:#ffa5a5">Onton</span> <span style="background-color:#a6aeff">es</span> <span style="background-color:#adffa6">bók</span> <span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">eza</span>'' — "<span style="background-color:#ffa5a5">Anton</span> <span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">read</span> <span style="background-color:#a6aeff">his</span> <span style="background-color:#adffa6">book</span>"
+* negation tends to shift the word order to VSO.
+** <span style="background-color:#a6f6ff">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|n}}</span><span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|eza}}</span> <span style="background-color:#ffa5a5">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|Onton}}</span> <span style="background-color:#a6aeff">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|es}}</span> <span style="background-color:#adffa6">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|bók}}</span> — ''<span style="background-color:#a6f6ff">n</span><span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">eza</span> <span style="background-color:#ffa5a5">Onton</span> <span style="background-color:#a6aeff">es</span> <span style="background-color:#adffa6">bók</span>'' — "<span style="background-color:#ffa5a5">Anton</span> <span style="background-color:#a6f6ff">did not</span> <span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">read</span> <span style="background-color:#a6aeff">his</span> <span style="background-color:#adffa6">book</span>"
+* interrogative clauses also do the same.
+** <span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|eza}}</span> <span style="background-color:#ffa5a5">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|Onton}}</span> <span style="background-color:#a6aeff">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|es}}</span> <span style="background-color:#adffa6">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|bók}}</span>{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|?}} — ''<span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">eza</span> <span style="background-color:#ffa5a5">Onton</span> <span style="background-color:#a6aeff">es</span> <span style="background-color:#adffa6">bók</span>?'' — "<span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">did</span> <span style="background-color:#ffa5a5">Anton</span> <span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">read</span> <span style="background-color:#a6aeff">his</span> <span style="background-color:#adffa6">book</span>?"
+*... though interrogative clauses using SOV is of generally equal distribution.
+** <span style="background-color:#ffa5a5">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|Onton}}</span> <span style="background-color:#a6aeff">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|es}}</span> <span style="background-color:#adffa6">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|bók}}</span> <span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|eza}}</span>{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|?}} — ''<span style="background-color:#ffa5a5">Onton</span> <span style="background-color:#a6aeff">es</span> <span style="background-color:#adffa6">bók</span> <span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">eza</span>?'' — "<span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">did</span> <span style="background-color:#ffa5a5">Anton</span> <span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">read</span> <span style="background-color:#a6aeff">his</span> <span style="background-color:#adffa6">book</span>?"
+* interrogative pronouns are placed clause-initially but do not interfere with verb placement.
+** <span style="background-color:#a6aeff">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|fat}}</span> <span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|eza}}</span> <span style="background-color:#ffa5a5">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|Onton}}</span>{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|?}} — ''<span style="background-color:#a6aeff">fat</span> <span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">eza</span> <span style="background-color:#ffa5a5">Onton</span>?'' — "<span style="background-color:#a6aeff">what</span> <span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">did</span> <span style="background-color:#ffa5a5">Anton</span> <span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">read</span>?"
+** <span style="background-color:#a6aeff">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|fat}}</span> <span style="background-color:#ffa5a5">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|Onton}}</span> <span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|eza}}</span>{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|?}} — ''<span style="background-color:#a6aeff">fat</span> <span style="background-color:#ffa5a5">Onton</span> <span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">eza</span>?'' — "<span style="background-color:#a6aeff">what</span> <span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">did</span> <span style="background-color:#ffa5a5">Anton</span> <span style="background-color:#ffd9a6">read</span>?"
