===Alignments===
====Typology====
The typology of Adzaay is predominantly SOV or verb-final. Marked order is OSV. A morphological particle is inserted between the subject and the direct object which is ostensibly a case suffix combined with a case prefix; a different particle is used in marked order.
====Morphosyntactic Alignment====
Adzaay alignment is tripartite, so nouns and pronouns are differentiated for subject, object, and agentive roles by use of case affixes and/or particles.
====Headedness====
Adzaay is predominantly head-final, and this is reflected in many of its more granular alignments.
====Noun Phrases====
A typical noun phrase is structured in the following order:
# —'''NOUN'''—
# Adposition
# Determiner
# Numeral
# Adjective (Phrase)
# Genitive (Phrase)
# Relative Clause
====Adjective Phrases====
In adjective phrases, (adverbial) measurements of degree (very, less, too, &c.) follow the adjective.
# —'''ADJECTIVE'''—
# Degree Adverb (Phrase)
====Verb Phrases====
As mentioned in Typology, Adzaay is a verb-final language, and as such, adverbs always immediately precede the verb. Verbs inflect for person, number, polarity, voice, mood, tense, and aspect.
