Pisina-Pirunga's typology:
1. Isolating
2. SVO
3. Adposition + Noun
4. No adjectives: the relative clause does the job
5. Noun + Genitive
6. Noun + Relative clause
7. Aux + Verb
8. Verb + Adverbs (but adverbs are made as locative adposition + verb)
9. Rectum + Regens compounding type
10. No case tags but the verb optionally takes a voice prefix distributing
the agent, patient and pattern (= "focus") case roles to the subject, object
and oblique object.
11. No tense, aspect or mood. Expressions like "in the past", "already", "I
wish" do the job.
12. Japanese, latin or "native" script
13. No number, gender or case
