Network - Morphology
There were defined 4 main types of human languages, based on the composition of word:
- Isolating (Chinese, Indonesian, Vietnamese): invariable words, with strict ordering. Sub-types: Analytical
- Agglutinating (Magyar, Finnish, Turkish, Japanese): prefixes and suffixes
- Fusional (indo-european): declensions in nouns, conjugations in verbs
- Polisynthetic (Amerindian, Basque): complex words that carry a sentence-worth of information

Transport - Grammar
There are 3 main types of languages, based on the word order by functional point of view:
- SOV (subject-object-verb): the most part of the languages
- SVO (subject-verb-object): the largest number of speakers
- VSO (verb-subject-object): very a few (e.g. Irish)
