hixkaryana language

Hixkaryana is one of the Carib languages, spoken by just over 500 people on the Nhamund river, a tributary of the Amazon River in Brazil. It is one of a few known natural languages that possess an Object Verb Subject word order. Toto yonoye kamara. Translated as "The jaguar ate the man." Toto means man, yonoye is from the verb meaning "to eat," and kamara means jaguar. Word order is crucial in Hixkaryana for understanding what is meant, as there are no case endings depicting what the object and subject are.
