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.

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.

Formality in this pair

Sie and du are a real decision with legal and commercial weight; formality: more selects Sie and the matching imperative forms.
