Re: Star Trek

According to wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Verb_Subject there are at least
two or three ("languages that use it include Guarijio, Hixkaryana, and
to some extent also Tapirapé."). The first and second are an
Uto-Aztecan language spoken by ~5000 people, and a S. American
language spoken by ~500.

So, not too many.
