German

German compounds nouns into single words and puts finite verbs at the end of subordinate clauses, so translated strings run roughly ten to thirty-five per cent longer than the English source.

Script: Latin · Family: West Germanic

Compound nouns overflow narrow buttons and table headers; test the German build at your smallest breakpoint before release.

Basque

Basque is a language isolate unrelated to any other in Europe, with ergative-absolutive alignment and verb forms that agree with up to three arguments at once, so sentence structure has no Indo-European parallel.

Script: Latin · Family: Isolate

The ergative marker attaches to the subject; a sentence template that swaps in a name without the ending is ungrammatical.

Formality in this pair

Zu is the standard address and berorí an archaic respectful form; formality: more selects a formal register rather than a separate pronoun set.
