C'est ce qui la rend intéressante :))) . After all, you feel much more special
when you realise that your language bears more in common with polysynthetic
langs like Inuit than with Latin :))) (the roots excepted).

Is Malagasy part of this family then? Because it's the most common language
referred to when people talk about OSV (IIRC, in my little booklet about the
structure of languages - Que Sais-Je? La Structure des Langues - the list of
OSV languages is more important than 1. In the sample of 743 languages it
referred to, OSV was 5% of them IIRC).
