I have finally written down some grammar on here. (2014-09-08 13:56:25) :
Hmm... Spanish has wh-movement and IIRC some subject-verb inversion, so it's a good deal easier to figure out a sentence is a question than in, say, Mandarin, where you basically get a sentence-final particle (no wh-movement, neither!). In general, this is probably a big problem in languages where C-level stuff (interrogatives, epistemic stuff, information focus) is on the right.

The weirdest part is how eerily normal most of Sub-Saharan Africa is compared to, say, the middle east or asian russia.
