View source for Į̄mχɛ̱́

'''Į̄mχɛ̱́''' is one of the languages belonging to Pı̇ħ language family. It stems directly from [[Pı̇ħ]], the family proto-language. It is spoken in the late classic period and it has a logographic script.

==Typological structure==
Į̄mχɛ̱́ is mostly a morphologically '''isolating''' language. 

In an isolating languages, semantical or grammatical morphemes are almost coincident with single words, and they do not change or add any flecting affix. Moreover, words can have more than one grammatical role in a sentence:
 ūp
 <small>build (verb) – construction (noun) – building (adjective)</small>

The basic word order is essentially '''SVO''' (''{{color|green|Subject}}-{{color|red|Verb}}-{{color|blue|Object}}''). 

 {{color|green|χɛ̱́}} {{color|red|θū ɑ̀rɛ́}} {{color|blue|mū}}
 <small>{{color|green|(the) person}} {{color|red|sees}} {{color|blue|(a) cow}}</small>

The '''SVO''' order appears to be an evolution from a previous general '''SOV''' order. The entire system is indeed not firmly fixed between both orders.

Some typological parameters are set according to the ''head-modifier'' (or ''head-initial'') type:
*''verb - object''
*''preposition - noun''
*''noun - relative clause''

Other typological parameters are still set according to the ''modifier-head'' (or ''head-final'') type:
*''adjective - noun''
