Hittite is a [[Head final|head-final]] language: it has [[subject-object-verb]] [[word order]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.utexas.edu/cola/centers/lrc/eieol/hitol-2-X.html |title=The Telepenus "Vanishing God" Myth (Anatolian mythology) |website=Utexas.edu |access-date=2017-01-17 |archive-date=2016-07-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160703162310/http://www.utexas.edu/cola/centers/lrc/eieol/hitol-2-X.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> a [[split ergative]] [[Morphosyntactic alignment|alignment]], and is a [[synthetic language]]; [[Prepositions and postpositions|adpositions]] follow their [[complement (linguistics)|complement]], adjectives and genitives precede the nouns that they modify, adverbs precede verbs, and [[Subordination (linguistics)#Subordinate clauses|subordinate clauses]] precede [[independent clause|main clauses]].

Hittite syntax shows one noteworthy feature that is typical of Anatolian languages: commonly, the beginning of a sentence or clause is composed of either a sentence-connecting particle or otherwise a fronted or topicalized form, and a "chain" of fixed-order [[clitic]]s is then appended.
