==Proposed features of Proto-Nostratic== According to [[Aharon Dolgopolsky|Dolgopolsky]], the Proto-Nostratic language had [[Isolating language|analytic structure]], which he argues by diverging of post- and prepositions of auxiliary words in descendant languages. Dolgopolsky states three lexical categories to be in the Proto-Nostratic language: * Lexical words * [[Pronoun]]s * Auxiliary words Word order was [[subject–object–verb]] when the [[Subject (grammar)|subject]] was a noun, and [[object–verb–subject]] when it was a [[pronoun]]. Attributive (expressed by a lexical word) preceded its head. Pronominal attributive ('my', 'this') might follow the noun. Auxiliary words are considered to be [[postposition]]s.
