Synthetic language

A synthetic language, also called an inflected language, is a language which uses inflectional forms, such as noun declension and verb conjugation, as a primary means of indicating the grammatical function of the words in the sentence, often to the point where the word order in a clause is arbitrary or merely connotative. An example of a synthetic language is Latin.

Synthetic languages can be further broken down into agglutinative and fusional categories.
