Carrajena is a Romance language, but VSO due to the
Punic substrate.
The language sometimes emphasises the subject
(especially when dealing with multiple clauses
following the verb) by using a pronoun in the subject
slot immediately precceding the actual noun phrase
identifying the topic.
As in other Romance languages, verbals can function as
adjectives and as nouns.
The articles and adjectives agree with their nouns in
number (singular or plural) and gender (masculine,
feminine or neuter). Citation form for adjectives in
masc. sg.
all verbs drop -ari, -eri, -iri before adding the
following endings
