+===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.
