I agree any language is based on some grammatical order. Of course there's a grammer. I am saying English and Chinses are much more based upon gramatically logical order than Japanese. For example, in English you say 'This is not a pen'. Probably the most logical order must be 'This not is a pen.', since 'is' has to be negated beforehand.
In Japanese we say 'This a pen is not.' This verbal expression is against our logical order of conception. 'A', 'pen', 'is' have to be negated beforehand. Gramatically speaking many order of words are possible, but logics is based on a natural sequence of order of things or objects, incidents. So I said ther's no room for anyone to raise doubt in them.
English is easy to learn for non-native speakers like me because it is more simple and fundamental than other languages like Japanese, German, French, etc. Latin languages leave many paradigm changes in which English has already lost most of all. Thus I said English is no more reflexive (I mean inflexive), English is more analytical means there's no distinguished paradigm change in it, which is very similar to analytical language like Chinese. For non-native speakers the distinction of is/am/are/ doesn't matter, I be/You be/ He be/ all are fine.
