1. Warlpiri
Morphological typology
Warlpiri has a large class of “preverbs” that create verbs with very specific meanings, while there are only a few hundred verb roots. [1] However, Warlpiri nouns are assembled from thousands of roots. There are also auxiliary words, which identify tense and give other details. [2] From this information, it seems like verbs in the language use discrete particles for inflection and are thus synthetic and agglutinative, while nouns show evidence of an analytic language
