in reply to The Germanic language form

If you ever find the time, go and listen to TheDamian's talk on Lingua::Romana::Perligata. One of the key differences between English and Latin is the subject / verb / object order, or rather, the lack thereof in Latin. The SVOo has influenced the (high level) programming languages and most of them have a fixed order. As an example, in Perl the order of assignment is determined solely by position:

my ($var) = @_

while in Latin (and L:R:P), the order is determined by the casus of the elements:

meis varo haec da. meis varo da haec.

Both above sentences are equivalent in Latin (and LRP).
