(詳細はendangered language of the Eastern Algonquian subgroup of the Algonquian language family, itself a branch of the Algic language family. The grammar of Munsee is characterized by complex inflectional and derivational morphology. Inflection in Munsee is realized through the use of prefixes and suffixes added to word stems to indicate grammatical information, including number (singular or plural), gender, person, possession, negation, obviation, and others. Nouns use combinations of person prefixes and suffixes to indicate possession, and suffixes to indicate gender, number, diminutive, absentative, and obviation. Verbs use a single set of person prefixes and a series of suffixes in position classes following the verb stem to indicate combinations of person, number, negation, obviation, and others. ==Word classes== There are three primary word classes in Munsee Delaware: Noun, Verb, and Particle. There are two subtypes of nouns: ''Animate'' and ''Inanimate. '' Pronouns in several subtypes can be considered subtypes of the Noun category. Several verbal subclasses are distinguished, with cross-cutting categorization for gender and transitivity defining the four major subclasses: ''Animate Intransitive, '' ''Inanimate Intransitive, '' ''Transitive Animate, '' and ''Transitive Inanimate. '' Other verb classes are derived from these primary classes: ''Transitivized Animate Intransitive,'' ''Double Object Transitive,'' and ''Objectless Transitive Inanimate,'' exemplified below. Particles are words that do not select for inflectional prefixes or suffixes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Munsee grammar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
