Nterminaalisilla

Nterminaalisilla is a term used in the field of linguistics to describe a language that lacks a terminal morpheme. A terminal morpheme is a morpheme that appears at the end of a word and can indicate grammatical features such as tense, aspect, or mood. In languages with terminal morphemes, these morphemes are typically suffixes. Nterminaalisilla languages, on the other hand, do not have such morphemes at the end of words. Instead, they may use other means to convey grammatical information, such as word order, infixation, or circumfixation. Examples of nterminaalisilla languages include many indigenous languages of Australia, such as Warlpiri and Arrernte, as well as some languages of the Americas, like Quechua. The absence of terminal morphemes in these languages can lead to a more flexible word order and a different approach to grammatical marking.
