Editing Austronesian languages (section)

===Morphology===
Most Austronesian languages are [[Agglutination|agglutinative languages]] with a relatively high number of [[affix]]es, and clear morpheme boundaries.{{sfnp|Blust|2013|p=355}} Most affixes are [[prefix]]es ([[Malay language|Malay]] ''ber-jalan'' 'walk' < ''jalan'' 'road'), with a smaller number of [[suffix]]es ([[Tagalog language|Tagalog]] ''titis-án'' 'ashtray' < ''títis'' 'ash') and [[infix]]es ([[Roviana language|Roviana]] ''t<in>avete'' 'work (noun)' < ''tavete'' 'work (verb)').{{sfnp|Blust|2013|pp=370–399}}

[[Reduplication]] is commonly employed in Austronesian languages. This includes full reduplication ([[Malay language|Malay]] ''anak-anak'' 'children' < ''anak'' 'child'; [[Karo Batak language|Karo Batak]] ''nipe-nipe'' 'caterpillar' < ''nipe'' 'snake') or partial reduplication ([[Central Cagayan Agta language|Agta]] ''taktakki'' 'legs' < ''takki'' 'leg', ''at-atu'' 'puppy' < ''atu'' 'dog').{{sfnp|Blust|2013|pp=406–431}}
