Although related distantly to Vietnamese and Khmer, it is typologically much more akin to nearby Austronesian languages such as Nias and Acehnese, with which it forms a linguistic area.[1] Car is a VOS language and somewhat agglutinative.[2] There is a quite complicated verbal suffix system with some infixes, as well as distinct genitive and "interrogative" cases for nouns and pronouns.[3] References1. ^Cysouw, Michael; Quantitative explorations of the world-wide distribution of rare characteristics, or: the exceptionality of north-western European languages {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090514195944/http://email.eva.mpg.de/~cysouw/pdf/cysouwDGFS2005.pdf |date=2009-05-14 }}; pp. 11-12 {{Austro-Asiatic languages}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Car Language}}2. ^WALS: Nicobarese 3. ^Whitehead, Rev.
