Subject–verb–object languages almost always place relative clauses after the nouns they modify and adverbial subordinators before the clause modified, with Chinese as a notable exception.
Although some subject–verb–object languages in West Africa, the best-known being Ewe, use postpositions in noun phrases, the vast majority have prepositions like English does. Most subject–verb–object languages place genitives after the noun, though there is a significant minority, including the postpositional SVO languages of West Africa, the Hmong–Mien languages, some Sino-Tibetan languages, and such European languages as Swedish, Danish, Lithuanian and Latvian, that have prenominal genitives[6] (as would be expected in a SOV language).
Outside of Europe, subject–verb–object languages have a strong tendency to place adjectives, demonstratives, and numerals after the noun they modify, though Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Malay place numerals before nouns as English does. Some linguists have come to actually view the numeral as the head in this relationship to fit the rigid right-branching of these languages.[7]
