Panare sentence structure does not follow a strict word order, but a flexible one. In most studies, it is classified as an object-initial language. However, subject-object-verb and subject-verb-object are known to appear frequently as well. This kind of "object-initial tendency" is quite common in Amazonia, where sentence structure is often more consistently arranged through clause construction type than word order. As a result, Panare and its neighboring languages often use case markings as a way of ordering how constituents of a sentence affect each other.
