-====== Nominative-Accusative alignment ======
-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. Standard [[Nûrlâm]] is also Nominative language, while it's archaic version is [[syntax_ergative|Ergative]].
-While in //Ergative// languages the terms //[[syntax_agent|Agent]]// and //[[syntax_patient|Patient]]// are more convenient for description of verb's arguments, in Nominative-Accusative languages both agent and patient may become either subject or object of predicate depending on [[grammar_voice|grammatical voice]].

-The typical word order in standard Nûrlâm is Subject–Verb–Object (SVO). //Indirect// objects are placed **after** //direct// objects. Nouns in locative or marginal [[grammar_case|case]] are not objects but usually an [[syntax_adverbials|adverbials]], so they don't follow this word order.
