Language typology is the study of systematic patterns in the structure of languages across different cultures and regions of the world. It examines the commonalities and differences in the way that languages organize and express information, such as word order, sound patterns, and grammatical categories. Typologists aim to identify recurring patterns in languages and categorize them into different types or families based on these structural features. By studying language typology, researchers can gain insights into the universal principles that govern the organization of human language and the ways in which languages vary and evolve over time.
