The word order of the Burmese language is subject-object-verb. The only exception to this rule is the verb ga (to be), which is placed directly after the subject. Pronouns in Burmese vary according to the gender and status of the audience. Burmese is monosyllabic, that is, every word is a root to which a particle but not another word may be prefixed (Ko, 1924, p viii). Sentence structure determines syntactical relations, and verbs are not conjugated but have particles suffixed to them. For example, the verb for 'to eat' is sá, and remains the same. See also:

Grammatical knowledge of the language remains sketchy at best, but a few observations can nonetheless be made concerning its phonology, morphology, and syntax. Old Tongue - Phonology. The exact phonological value of many letters and digraphs can only be guessed at, but the pronunciations provided by Jordan for some of the more important words offer at least some semblance of a guide. Further, given that the author's own native language is (American) English, one can perh ...

Also, Brown intended the language to be totally regular and unambiguous. In particular, phonemes that could be confused w ...

The grammar of Singlish has been heavily influenced by other languages and dialects in the region, such as Malay and Chinese, with some structures being identical to ones in Mandarin and other Chinese languages. As a result, Singlish has acquired some unique features, especially at the basilectal level. Note that all of the features described below disappear at the acrolectal level, as people in formal situations tend to adjust their speech towards accepted norms found in other varieties of English.
