Really? I'm sure you know more than I do, but the Lakhota speaker that
works with people here at UCLA definitely doesn't have an "anglicized"
word order. She is very consistently SOV, and does not really like to
change orders around too much. Her demonstratives follow the nouns they
modify, and her relative clauses are internally headed.

So this makes me curious -- in what way has Lakhota word order been
changed?
