The word order of Azkali in a given sentence varies by context and dialect. A given Azkali sentence usually follows a '''SVO''' ('''Subject-Verb-Object''') word order. However, the word order is much freer than in other Ukilen languages. The role of the noun is mostly determined by its position within the sentence - e.g. the most salient topic within the sentence is shifted to the front, and visa versa. | The word order of Azkali in a given sentence varies by context and dialect.
