Bearlandic normally has a SVO word order, but questions have a VSO order. Any constituent can be placed in front of the verb to add emphasis, but there can only be one constituent before the verb, which means that the subject is moved to after the verb when another constituent is placed before the verb. | Bearlandic normally has a SVO word order, but questions have a VSO order.
