Like other Semitic languages, including [[Hebrew]], [[Akkadian]] and [[Sumerian]], Ugaritic had an object-verb-subject word order.  Its verbal morphology was most similar to [[Aramaic]], although Hittite and even [[Egyptian]] influence is seen in its inflectional morphology.  It is believed that the maximum number of current speakers of the language is no more 5 million and rapidly falling. Ergativity is also a notable feature of the language.
