 == Syntax ==
-=== Main clause ===
+{{rellink|For examples: [[Proto-Almaic/Test Sentences]]}}
-Proto-Almaic is primarily a VSO language, with alternate orders such as SVO, employed for topic introduction, and VOS, a result of pragmatic marking, being less common.
+Proto-Angaric is a specifier-initial, adjunct-mixed, head-final language.
-=== The verb phrase ===
+XP → (YP) X'
-The verb phrase is, maximally, as follows:
+X' → (ZP) X'&ensp;''or''&ensp;X' (ZP)
-: (Preposition) '''Verb''' (Adverbs) (Auxiliary Verb)
+X' → (WP) X
-Preverbal adpositions are valency increasing operators. These are usually applied before intransitive verbs to have them take a locative object, though they might also serve to form dative or causative constructions. Only a small subset of adpositions is allowed in this role.
+=== Structure rules ===
-Adverbs are usually located directly after the main verb, when multiple adverbs are used they obey the following order:
-: Time – Manner – Place
+Phrase heads are in '''bold''', adjuncts are in {{color|gray|gray}}, optional elements are surrounded by (parentheses) or, if they can be repeated, by {curly braces}
-Some functional adverbs, such as questions and conditionals will be located in other positions, such as at the beginning of the clause or at the end.
+==== Sentence ====
+* CP
-Auxiliary verbs are used to express certain tenses and aspects that main verbs have no inflections for, such as the future tense and the progressive aspect. When an auxiliary is used, the main verb takes no inflections, other than preverbal adpositions.
+==== Complement Phrase (CP) ====
