The grammar of the Gujarati language is the study of the word order, case marking, verb conjugation, and other morphological and syntactic structures of the Gujarati language, an Indo-Aryan language native to the Indian state of Gujarat and spoken by the Gujarati people.
Its basic word order is subject–verb–object; it has a nominative–accusative case-marking strategy.
The modern theory of constituent order ("word order"), usually attributed to Joseph Greenberg, identifies several kinds of phrase.
Brian Whitaker, a Middle East editor for the Guardian newspaper (UK) later pointed out that the word order in Arabic is not the same as in English: "the verb comes first and so a sentence in Arabic which literally says 'Are shooting at us the Jews' means 'The Jews are shooting at us'".
Linguistic Typology concerns word order, and in Murinh-patha sentences are ordered subject-object-verb.
In a 2003 paper, Murray Gell-Mann and Merritt Ruhlen argued that the ancestral language had subject–object–verb (SOV) word order.
