 In languages with **//Nominative-Accusative//** morphosyntactic alignment the [[syntax_subject|subject]] is distinguished from [[syntax_object|object]] in any sentence despite the transitivity of [[grammar_verb|verb]] in [[syntax_predicate|predicate]]. This distinction may be expressed by [[morphology]] and/or syntax. Majority of Indo-European languages are Nominative-Accusative, and Nûrlâm as well. In languages with **//Nominative-Accusative//** morphosyntactic alignment the [[syntax_subject|subject]] is distinguished from [[syntax_object|object]] in any sentence despite the transitivity of [[grammar_verb|verb]] in [[syntax_predicate|predicate]].
