520 Crosslinguistically, SVO languages most commonly place
negative particles before theverb, employing SNegVO order.
This paper documents an area in central Africa
whichdeviates from this pattern, in which the negative
follows the verb, typically occurringat the end of the
clause, in SVONeg order. The languages in which this order
is found donot form a natural class genetically, since
they belong to three different families:Niger-Congo
(including Adamawa-Ubangian, Platoid, northern Bantoid
among others),Nilo-Saharan (especially Bongo-Bagirmi, but
also Kresh and a few other groups), andAfro-Asiatic
(specifically Chadic, but found widely throughout Chadic).

African Republic and down into the northernDemocratic
