The classification of the Ge-Yang family remains a subject of ongoing debate among researchers. A significant proportion of the Ge-Yang languages are currently endangered,necessitating a comprehensive examination of the limited data available. In order to achieve this,the present chapter first analyzes the basic word order of the Ge-Yang languages, followed by a detailed examination of the word order within their nominal phrases. Subsequently, a crosslinguistic analysis is conducted to discuss the relationship between the Ge-Yang and Tai-Kadai families, shedding light on potential shared linguistic features and historical connections.Specifically, the basic word order patterns include the order between verb and object (V+O), verb and manner adverb (AM+V), adjective and degree adverb (ADJ+AD or AD+ADJ), verb, adjective and negative adverb (V+AN, ADJ+AN, AN+V, AN+ADJ), adposition (PREP+NP, AP+VP or VP+AP), and non-equality comparative construction (ADJ+m+ST or m+ADJ+ST). The word orders of nominal phrases include the order between noun and noun (N+N(head) or N(head)+N), the noun and genitive (N+GEN), noun and adjective ((N+ADJ), noun and demonstrative (N+DEM), noun and classifier structure (NUM+CLF+N,CLF+N+NUM, NUM+CLF+N+DEM, CLF+ADJ,CLF+ADJ+DEM or CLF+DEM+ADJ), and noun and relative clause (N+RelV or RelV+N).
